Martin Scorsese Remembers David Johansen: ‘What a Remarkable Artist. What an Amazing Man’
Martin Scorsese has paid tribute to David Johansen, the beloved subject of the filmmaker's documentary 'Personality Crisis: One Night Only.'
The filmmaker helmed the Johansen doc Personality Crisis: One Night Only, which featured interviews with the New York Dolls frontman and punk rock pioneer. He created the act as one not intended to tour, after spending a ton of time on the road with his post New York Dolls band, David Johansen Group. Scorsese also noted Johansen’s weekly radio show, Mansion of Fun, which the director said he listened to “obsessively.” “That was when I understood just how wide and deep David’s knowledge of music history was—all of music history, from Debussy to the Cadillacs to Loretta Lynn to the Incredible String Band to Gregorian chants to David’s beloved Maria Callas, all of it mysteriously connected.”
