The d\u00e9cor can only be described \u2013 in the words of one of his songs \u2013 as funky but chic. Scarves and wigs are draped over lamps. LPs by Arthur Prysock, Machito, Bohannon are on display. Black-and-white photos of Dolly Parton and the Brian Jones-era Rolling Stones adorn the walls. Johansen himself puffs on an e-cigarette and ponders the notion that after more than 40 years of making music as the singer of the pioneering New York Dolls, an acclaimed solo artist, and as lounge-lizard alter ego Buster Poindexter, he\u2019s currently juggling all of these configurations as ongoing concerns.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<p>\u201cWell, my life is an ongoing concern,\u201d he says with a chuckle. \u201cI\u2019m very concerned about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 1971, the Staten Island-born singer teamed up with Johnny Thunders, Sylvain Sylvain, Arthur \u2018Killer\u2019 Kane and Billy Murcia to form the New York Dolls. The band\u2019s stripped-down, balls-out sound \u2013 rooted in the groove and swagger of Chuck Berry and girl groups rather than the boogie\u2019n\u2019blues jams prevalent at the time \u2013 plus their outrageous, gender-blurring fashion sense helped pave the way for punk and glam. But the Dolls were beset by chaos. Murcia drowned in a bathtub following a drug overdose on the group\u2019s first trip to London (he was replaced by Jerry Nolan), and their two albums \u2013 1973\u2019s <em>New York Dolls<\/em> and 1974\u2019s <em>Too Much Too Soon<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 flopped commercially.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the surviving Dolls (Thunders died of an overdose in 1991 and Nolan of a stroke the following year) reunited at the request of superfan Morrissey when the ex-Smith curated the 2004 Meltdown festival. A live album and a touching documentary were released following the triumphant show and, despite Kane\u2019s death soon afterwards, the Dolls went on to tour and release three more albums.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it\u2019s just as well, but Johansen, now 64, is sanguine about a career that\u2019s more <em>succ\u00e8ss d\u2019estime<\/em>\u00a0than box-office blockbuster. \u201cThe less you try to accomplish, the better it is, \u201d he says, \u201cthe more loose, the more musical, the more fun.

It\u2019s all in this kind of primal musical ooze in my head. But I would get a record and sing along. I always sang along with The Platters, singing The Great Pretender and those really operatic songs, and Wilson Pickett, stuff that came out when I was coming of age.

It wasn\u2019t like we would talk about what we were going to sound like or what we were going to look like or anything, we just kinda did it. We would play and people would say, \u201cYou guys are great,\u201d and we\u2019d say, \u201cHey, people like it, let\u2019s just keep playing.\u201d At that time in the East Village there was a lot of burgeoning liberation movements going, so we became the band for those people. When we played Mercer [Arts Centre] it was a place for all these people who saw each other on the street but didn\u2019t really know each other. A lot of them went on and did really great things, so we were like the band of that scene for a while.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Were there bands that you looked on as peers?

There were certain bands I really liked in the late \u201960s. I thought Big Brother &amp; The Holding Company was a really great band.
