Mr. Johansen was the subject of “Personality Crisis: One Night Only,” a 2023 documentary directed by Martin Scorsese and David Tedeschi centered on a Buster Poindexter show at the Café Carlyle in New York. “Existence is maimed happiness,” he said in the film, paraphrasing the philosopher William James — but he wasn’t able to conceal the joyful spirit and relentless productivity that animated his decades-long career. There was a irrepressible outlook that drove the New York Dolls in their evanescent moment, which Mr. Johansen applied to the rest of his long life.

“Our total attitude towards art, was, like, get up and do something — quit sitting there whining,” Mr. Johansen told The Times in 2006. “That’s what we stood for, that do-something spirit.”

So,so sad. He was one of the most alive people of our time.

If you haven’t seen it yet, I have to again recommend the Scorsese-produced documentary, “David Johansen: Personality Crisis - One Night Only” on Paramount+
