Summary: 5 Stars
Nina Antonia has obviously done her research on the amazing torrent of attitude and style that was the New York Dolls. I had read Please Kill Me by Legs McNeil prior, which had been a primary influence in my intrest in the history of the Dolls. While in some regards his oral history is more complete, I still found a lot of enriching information in Antonia's book, including some really cool insights to the background behind some of the lyrics. Also, I learned a lot more about Arthur Kane and David Jo then McNeil had offered. I was a little surprised that Johnny Thunder's "official biographer" didn't have a heavier Johnny focus (besides, I know I'm not the only one who thinks he was the coolest Doll), but I then, I guess she'd have a harder time selling "In Cold Blood" if she gave Johnny's whole story here.
Summary of The New York Dolls: Too Much Too Soon
Too Much Too Soon is the definitive story of the most outrageous glam rock band of them all - The New York Dolls. The Dolls, peddling trans-gender pusturing and incendiary rock 'n' roll, were dumped by the record business after making just two albums. But their influence lived on when Malcolm McLaren injected the last of the Dolls' life blood into The Sex Pistols and changed pop forever. From punk to grunge, practically every new sensation in the contemporary rock scene has been a delayed reaction to The New York Dolls. Too Much Too Soon celebrates all the glorious sleaze and excess of the Dolls's brief auto-destruct career through interviews with the survivors, including band members, managers, roadies, groupies and hangers-on. the result is the ultimate saga of unrepentant rock 'n' roll debauchery. This new edition of Too Much Too Soon takes the story up to the Doll's reunion for Morrissey's Meltdown in 2004 - and tragic death of Arthur Kane shortly afterwards.History & Criticism Books
