Comment:

Flash-forward 30 or so years; Johansen has blazed through multiple personalities (including lounge barbarian Buster Poindexter), Sylvain is in semi-retirement, and Johnny Thunders, bassist Arthur Kane, and drummer Jerry Nolan are permanently — make that [i]unalterably[/i] — retired. Then, in 2006, the Dolls sprang back to life with [i]One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This[/i], whose bloody-but-unbowed [i]veterano[/i] reminiscence in "I Ain't Got Nothin'" clearly demonstrates that they still got somethin', and plenty of it. Bringing in original producer Todd Rundgren — after a 36 year layoff — on 2009's [i]'Cause I Sez So[/i] reunites as much of the original team as still breathes, and the scruffy, scrappy rawness of "Muddy Bones" sounds more like a bunch of twenty-something ruffians than guys just a few years away from drawing Social Security. And to play us out, the swaggerjackin' funk of the show-closing "Nobody Got No Bizness" ends with a promise we hope they'll always keep: "If we don't come back, just call us on the Ouija board."
