New York Dolls: Photos From Legendary Rock Photographer Bob Gruen's Book

"I thought the Dolls were good when they played L.A. They had a terrific look and the songs were really good. The songwriting, that's what I really liked about 'em. And Johnny Thunders was a terrific presence on the guitar — so it was certainly a strong performance, and I thought, 'Oh, it's great.' " — Iggy Pop (quoted in New York Dolls: Photographs by Bob Gruen)
