Win New York Doll on DVD!

By Randy Harward, 4-11-06

The absolute last place you’d look to find a former member of the venerated glam/trash/punk band the New York Dolls is in a church, much less an LDS temple. Yet this is where Dolls bassist Arthur “Killer” Kane wound up after the Dolls disintegrated and his own bands—and even a suicide attempt, failed. On the surface, it sounds like just another guy looking for salvation in the most convenient cubby: religion. But as New York Doll, Greg Whitely’s warm documentary about the impoverished, aged ex-rock star plays on, we see Arthur Kane find redemption and renewal on his own terms. That, and Doll’s singer David Johansen singing the Mormon hymn “Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief”—reverently and quietly! That’s powerful stuff.

So…how’d you like to win a copy of this bad boy? Speak up—no need to be reverent and quiet when you’re askin’ for free stuff! That’s what I thought you said. First, you must do the bidding of New West SLC and (you knew there was a catch), which is...wait for it...be one of the first five people to email randy_at_newwest.net. That is indeed all you gotta do. Aside from abide by the terms and condition, the rules and regulations, the fine print. Down there.
