You know (maybe) I taught a 400-level seminar last semester called "We're Revolting: Punk Rock Politics and Aesthetics." Seems like this book will make a good compliment to the Maximum RnR-ness of Steven Ambrose's _American Hardcore_ and the quasi-journalistic style of Clinton Heylin's _From the Velvets to the Voidoids_, both of which are also great reads.Seth Kahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911164106637399507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146113.post-31471542877409334152009-08-01T10:15:10.702-04:002009-08-01T10:15:10.702-04:00Hey Bill,

You're absolutely right about SNL, which was defiantly DIY and even anarchic at times. And Youngstown, yes: my hope is that if the book goes into a second edition, I'll be able to include these and other cultural touchstones. In the meantime, lets lift a glass to poor old Stiv, who actually died once, before he died for good. In think there's a hint of him in Ephraim.Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336802107038613964noreply@blogger.com
