While we're on the subject of musical miracles, how about this one - the New York Dolls have made one of the best albums of the year, 32 years after their last release.
Of course, it's not quite the same New York Dolls; 3 of the original 5 have died over the past 15 years. But David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain are still there, and it's hard to imagine that most people wouldn't think that they are in their mid-20s, instead of the near-sixties baby boomers that they both are.
Once upon a time, people called the Dolls a band that could become the American Rolling Stones. Needless to say that didn't happen, but albums like One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This are reasons to keep on listening to music.
