Iggy Pop, Danny Fields, Dee Dee and Joey Ramone, Nico, Patti Smith, and scores of other famous and infamous punk figures lend their voices to this definitive account of that outrageous, explosive era. From its origins in the twilight years of Andy Warhol's New York reign to its last gasps as eighties corporate rock, the phenomenon that was known as punk is scrutinized, eulogized, and idealized by the people who were there and who made it happen. / Legs McNeil cofounded Punk magazine and is a former editor at Spin and editor in chief of Nerve. He is the coauthor of The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry. Gillian McCain is the author of two books of poetry: Tilt and Religion.
