While wandering through the magazine section at Border’s today, I picked up a Rock mag of some sort with some goofy Gothed-out rockers on the cover and flipped through it. A couple of pages into it I came across a photo of David Johansen. He was in the band, the New York Dolls, which was alittle before my time, but I remember him when he performed under the pseudonym Buster Poindexter. As Buster, he had a pretty big hit called Hot Hot Hot–you’ve probably heard it if you are familar with late 80′s music. So, here he is performing at a high school (I am not kidding) during his recent Enlarged Prostate Tour brought to you by Flomax. I do have the satin tour jacket.
Here’s a recent photo of Buster. It’s not so much that he has aged poorly, (though he has) he has become downright simian in his appearance. If you stare at him you get the feeling he’s about to throw feces at you with his opposable thumbs. This is evolution in reverse. I don’t know about his love life, but if you’re a woman who’s butt looks like a red catchers mitt, you better watch out!! So, dude, David, Buster, Travis, whatever the hell your name is, hang it up. THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT.
