PLEASE KILL ME. THE UNCENSORED ORAL HISTORY OF PUNK

PLEASE KILL ME. THE UNCENSORED ORAL HISTORY OF PUNK.
Legs McNeil y Gillian McCain.
Abacus, Londres, 2002.

"Sometimes harrowing, often hilarious, PLEASE KILL ME is a history of the birth of punk rock told by many of the people involved. Starting with the Velvet Underground, one of the bands that provided inspiration for the movement, Legs McNeil and co-author Gillian McCain interview members of the New York Dolls and the MC5, as well as Iggy Pop, associates of Andy Warhol, and the Ramones, among many others. Though most of their stories aren't pretty, they make compulsive reading. This is the kind of rock & roll history rarely found outside the confines of bars or dressing rooms, where confidences are shared and juicy gossip dished, reputations trashed, and legends made. Iconic figures like punk poet Patti Smith, music writer Lester Bangs, punk godfather Lou Reed, punk rocker Johnny Rotten, and Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren stagger across its pages--ambitious, abusive, drugged, drunk, or all of the above. Crackling with wayward energy, PLEASE KILL ME is the story of the individuals who first made punk possible, and then inevitable."
