Review: I've read a few biographies of the Punk era but this one stood out as it was a very personal and frank recollection of the early life and for most readers, the main story 1973-1984. As it ended I kept flicking through the pages to find more but it ends rightly with his retireal from music in 1984. If helps to listen to his music as you read the book. What lifted me was in his description of the infamous tour of the UK with the Clash in 1977/1978, when he was "junk sick" an hated the Brits preoccupation with the potato, he did have a kind spot for Scotland , where he said he loved the crowds and the places. I was lucky enough to see two gigs on that tour in Dunfermline and Edinburgh. Not too sure I agree with his claim that punk was a New York movement mainly in CBGB's and only lasted a couple of years. Most of the audience in there were either in bands, went out with band members or were writers and artists. In the UK Punk was a youth movement that spread like a plague rat to every small outpost of the country. Great read though and I'm currently re reading Go Now, his first novel and trying to get a hold of his other short novel, God Like but it is currently out of print, or available at a whacking price on this very site. Buy it read it and then read it again.

Review: Not one of the best from my perspective. I found the book to be a little too intellectual for my level, though enjoyed discovering more about the birth of Punk rock.
