In this episode of Culture Drop, we explore the shape-shifting, genre-blurring career of David Johansen—frontman of the legendary New York Dolls, alter ego Buster Poindexter, and lifelong student of American music. From gritty punk clubs to late-night jazz lounges, Johansen’s sound and presence have influenced generations, including artists like Mick Jones of The Clash. With a storyteller’s wit and a deep musical vocabulary, he remains one of the most original voices in rock history. Tune in as we dig into the music, the myth, and the legacy of a true iconoclast.
