DESCRIPTION:
A Customer said Will Flex Your Head. As a lit scholar, this is one of my favorite books! I was in grade school when this material first appeared, but still I can see why it sparked a whole movement. Holmstrom's blend of irreverence, honesty, and sheer enthusiasm must've seemed radical during the self-indulgent, PC Seventies. But for all its hilarity and straightforward charm, Punk's material works on several levels. Just check out the famous interview/comic book story on Lou Ree. "Nice collection from the original magazine" according to Zep. since the original Punk magazines are hard to find and very expensive if you do,this book is a nice alternative. It's a real time capsule of the punk scene as it was happening from the guys who coined the term Punk,which perfectly described the new music scene they were covering.My only complaint is that they did not include the entire issues,which they easily could (and should) of.Oh well,get it if you canthe originals will cost you $500+ fo. a Bible for all ages Nothing gets better then the crazy yet brillant minds of John Holmstrom and Legs McNeil. Every word in this compolation will make you laugh, I promise!!!! It is history in the making and they opened the doors for so many other magazines. In fact they have a new issue out now too! 25 Years later!!
