of doing the interview!)
(Slight recommendation for that book if you wonder where "punk"
REALLY started. As a clue, I'll tell you it wasn't The Ramones
and the Sex Pistols who started it - not by a long shot. Not a
great book, but kind of interesting if you ever listened to any of
the music referenced in there)
Granted, we all grow and change (and many of us even mature as we
do it) so who knows what he's like these days? But.... wow.
For people interested in rock/pop history, I recommend Lollipop
Lounge by Genya Ravan. Genya was the singer fronting Ten Wheel
Drive and one of Mick Jagger's girlfriends. She was right in the
middle of things in those formative days. And she writes well, too
(unless it was ghosted).
The book I mentioned was written by someone called Legs McNeil - how
could you resist a book by someone with a name like that? :-)
