The new documentary co-directed by Martin Scorsese and David Tedeschi on the singer, songwriter and raconteur is available now on Showtime.
Singer David Johansen phones as he’s boarding a flight from New York City to Los Angeles, the chatter of flight attendants occasionally surfacing in the background as he talks about “Personality Crisis: One Night Only,” a new documentary on his life in music.
David Johansen of the New York Dolls performs at the Henry Fonda Theatre on May 21, 2009 in Los Angeles. “Personality Crisis” arrived on Showtime earlier this month. In a conversation edited for length and clarity, and only occasionally interrupted by the flight crew’s admonishments to store overhead luggage and fasten seatbelts, this is what we learned.
And when he saw it, the same night, he said, ‘Oh, I want to shoot this.’ So to make a long story short, that’s how it came about.” A: It was fun to do. I wanted to keep doing it. Though we didn’t go into a theater because then COVID came. And now I’m glad that we filmed it. I was reluctant at first, you know. But then I was persuaded to be whatever you want to call it, the subject – or the victim.
Q: There’s a line in it that caught my attention where you say, ‘It’s best to leave an incomplete picture of yourself’ – why do you feel that way? A: I don’t know. I mention a lot of different kinds of music. So I think the documentary kind of gives a hint of that kind of breadth of my interests in music. I’m very attracted to vocalists especially, but also instrumentalists, who just like touch me in some way.
