[edit] Release Date of Bad Detective

I am trying to track down the precise release date for "Bad Detective" by New York Dolls (from their album Too Much Too Soon. Recording or composition date for each song would be ideal, but I'll settle for release date. How do you find the release date for 1974 songs? --Alecmconroy 13:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Morissey wasn't president

In the documentary New York Doll, Morissey denies having been the president of the New York Dolls fan club. I have seen it before but don't have a copy, so if someone can verify this, I'd like to have the section under 'influence' that repeats this misconception deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.228.104.234 (talk • contribs) 08:27, 1 August 2006

[edit] Fan boy crap

For goodness sake this meant to be an encyclopedia not a fanzine. Is it any wonder that Wikipedia is held in such low regard when an article features bullshit like:

• incontestable classics of raw, protopunk, anything-goes rock and roll.
• endearingly motley "Top Cat"-like street gang,
• truly seminal squalls of proto-punk rock
• Halloween Party At The Old Warhol Place With whatever You Can Swipe From Your Girlfriend's Wardrobe.
• possessing verve, nerve and cheeky ideas aplenty.
• a series of funny, strutting, high-energy vignettes from the seamy New York underground.
