David Johansen of the New York Dolls, also known as Buster Poindexter, died yesterday of cancer. He was 75.

I read that he had some regrets about creating that persona, but I really only knew him as Buster who was part of the Saturday Night Live house band in the late 1980s. Oh, and of course his appearance on Scrooged. He did a great job.
