My Actifit Report Card: September 11 2023 - Buster Poindexter is David Johansen
Being 9/11 here is some New York music.
Before there was punk there was glam. Besides the famous David Bowie and Sweet in the UK we had the New York Dolls in NYC. They kind of opened doors for the punks such as the Ramones, Blondie and the Dead Boys in NYC. They all played in and around CBGB in the mid 70s. The Dolls also paved the way for other NYC rockers KISS.
Here is David Johansen and the New York Dolls, live, singing Trash on a TV rock concert show. It sounds pretty punk. But he also shows where the roots were when he starts quoting Mickey and Sylvia's 50s guitar hit Love Is Strange.
Some years Later...
David turns himself into Buster Poindexter as the Dolls are no longer a band. Now he's rocking a Latin beat and having a fun dance hit with Hot Hot Hot!
MY ACTIVITY
was dancing to these songs and swimming at the pool. It is still hot hot hot here!
Later I took a short walk. Not a lot of steps but a Lot of activity!
Have a nice day!

A lot of energy is needed to sing song like this.
It's fascinating to see how bands like the New York Dolls paved the way for punk and rock in the city. And David Johansen's transformation into Buster Poindexter brought a whole new vibe. Sounds like you had a hot, fun day with dancing and swimming! Enjoy your day too!
Weather is changing here. But still hot. Night time, temperature gets lower but at day timing can't done any outdoor activity.
The New York Dolls were really influential in the rock scene of the 1970s, and were instrumental in shaping the punk and glam rock movements. Their raw and soulful sound had a lasting influence on many other bands that emerged from the New York City music scene, such as the Ramones and Blondie.
It sounds like you had a fun and active day! Dancing, swimming, and taking a walk are all great ways to stay active and enjoy the hot weather.
thank you so much for sharing the report and a good clip, have a nice day
