I bought this book to see if what I recalled about the punk music fad was just so much hype. I remembered that most of the bands were pretty lame, could'nt play they're own songs very well, and appeared to be ripped on heroin most of the time... Well, it was all TRUE! This book had dozens of great stories, as told by the people who lived them, (those of them who survived, that is), several excellent pictures from CBGB's, and other punk venues, and tons of info on the who's, wheres, and what happened's. Overall an extremely interesting, and funny book. I would say, if you have any interest in Punk Rock, you should buy, (or steal) this book! 4 stars! Hey Ho Lets Go!!
Well written with commentary from the music stars of the era

A good, trashy read. "Inappropriate remarks or profanity." (Important Review Tips) It's a lot of fun (& tragedy), fuckers! --rZx
