i hate to admit it, but morrissey actually does cheer me up. listening to someone sing about how depressed they are must make my life seem better by comparison somehow.

Props to KUER FM90, said local NPR station, for coordinating this event (this valley is bursting with local NPR stations). You can check out an archived version of the show at kuer.org.

Yep, nothing like some Morrissey to cheer people up.

That’s classic.

Saw this film last night as well… excellent film, and your review is pretty much spot on. Interestingly, Whitely admitted as much regarding your observation that this documentary essentially fell in his lap. He told us that he had known Arthur for years, and had often talked about doing a film about him, but it wasn’t until Arthur told him the New York Dolls were reuniting that he busted out his camera and just started shooting.

He also commented that it started out being more of a rockumentary about the Dolls, but after talking to his wife, realized that the compelling story was about Arthur and tweaked the documentary after that.

Great movie, whether you are or aren’t into either Mormonism or the New York Dolls.
