Tribute to David Johansen

On this weeks episode I pay tribute to David Johansen from the legendary New York Dolls, who sadly passed away last week. In honour of David I play two of my favourite New York Dolls songs 'Personality Crisis', and 'Trash', plus 'Cool Metro' off of David's first solo album. I then dig into some 70's NYC with The Stilettos, Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers, and Richard Hell & The Voidoids. I end with some 70's canadian punk from Michaele Jordana & The Poles, The Dishrags, The Fits, and The 'B'Girls.
