No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: The New York Dolls.

Chuck Berry and Chicago blues are both components of The Rolling Stones, of course, and most people, on first exposure to the New York Dolls, took them as Stones copyists. ‘My first impressions were that they were the early Stones in strippers’ clothes,’ Bowie recalled. ‘Fabulous early R&B sound, but much sloppier and more vital.’ Writing in Melody Maker, Richard Williams pinpointed it more precisely as the Stones between Aftermath and Between the Buttons, especially songs like ‘Stupid Girl’, in which Jagger sang somewhere between sneer and snarl. The Dolls’ groove likewise found the place between swagger and stagger: if the Stones were a car, then the Dolls had one wheel missing and veered constantly on the edge of careening off the road completely.
