    Default New York Dolls

    Kinda strange name for a topic, but I was wondering if anyone has any info on the time the Eagles denounced the New York Dolls in New York City? I've seen something about it somewhere saying it could have been one of the reasons the mainstream press was unfavorable to the Eagles, as the New York Dolls were the media darlings at the time. I can't stand bands like the Dolls or Kiss that only get popular with how they dress and have no musical talent. I get to write my final essay for my college humanities class over the Eagles as an art form, and I was just wondering about that incident.

    It's telling that I'd never heard of this group outside of the fact that they were publicly dissed by the Eagles. When I get a chance, I'll look it up and see if I can't find the article where I read about it.

    Question Re: New York Dolls

    What kind of wanker would put down a band they know nothing about??

    When did you see the NYD perform?
