Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk (20th Anniversary Edition) [Buy it!] | Legs McNeil, Gillian McCain | USD 17.00 (Sat Jun 8 01:56:53 2024) | Abebooks | Strand Book Store, ABAA | ISBN10: 0802125360, ISBN13: 9780802125361, [publisher: Grove Press] Softcover STAFF PICK: 'The greatest rock 'n' roll history ever written, Please Kill Me is the definitive book on the NYC punk scene. OG scenesters McNeil and McCain were there, so they know what it was like, where the drama was, and who to talk to. The resulting dozens of interviews collectively tell a riotously entertaining saga of the junkies, freaks, artists, and chaos agents who created the twentieth century's most important rock scene. Overflowing with debaucherous anecdotes, outrageous slander, and too-insane-not-to-be-true exploits, it's a must-read for punk fans, NYC cultural historians, and anyone who likes their nonfiction as mean, loud, and raw as the racket that once spilled out of CBGB. This book will make you want to take a shower, but it'll also make you want to buy some punk records. Trust me--that's a good deal.' - Kevin K. [New York, NY, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 2016] |
