I was sad to hear of the passing of Sylvain Sylvain, guitarist with The New York Dolls. Johnny Thunders received all the acclaim but Syl was the heart of the band. My favorite Dolls album was their last, "Dancing Backwards In High Heels". Syl's keyboards, singing and songwriting are all over it. The improbable reunion with David Jo in the 2000's let the world see just how responsible he was for the sound and attitude of a legendary band. Also how much he and David have evolved while still rocking.
His autobiography "No Bones in Ice Cream" is a great read. He gives us all very good advice in it's epilogue. Whatever you're doing in the life "T-rex the shit out of it." R.I.P.
