In the 1970s the New York Dolls took on another member, their roadie Peter Jordan, who often filled in on bass for Arthur Kane (allegedly when Kane's drinking became bad or, you know, when his girlfriend tried to cut off his thumb with a kitchen knife). While Jordan hasn't been taking part in their "comeback" shows over the past few years, he is still very much a part of New York. The former rockstar is now a doorman at a non-residential building in Midtown, near Grand Central. If you see him, show some respect...and ask him if he's working on a memoir (during his years with the Dolls he kept a diary, which was used as a reference for one book on the band). And did you know guitarist Sylvain Sylvain used to drive a cab?

So if that's supposed to be a photo of Peter Jordan, why is there also a picture of Sylvain Sylvain in this post? Anyone for some factchecking?
Thanks for pointing that out, mangell.
It's not like the NY Dolls ever made any money; something that made them that much more pioneering and authentic. The big bucks went to more commercial and business savvy bands like Kiss.
My secretary is a former New York Dolls groupie. She has some awesome pix!
for christsakes, at least tell the photographer to shoot from the other side of the desk!
sorry frank, that's how I wanted to shoot him.
Now, if only someone can turn David Johansen into a doorstop ...

Good to see Peter again. I used to love talking with him when he worked at Bleeker Bob's. A very approachable guy. And an amazing bass player.
