Please Kill Me. The Uncesored Oral History of Punk

What Britain refined, America defined. Assembled by two key figures at the heart of the movement and told through the voices of musicians, artists, iconoclastic reporters and entrepreneurial groupies, "Please, Kill Me" is the full decadent story of the American punk scene, through the early years at Andy Warhol's Factory to the New York underground of Max's Kansas City and later, its heyday at CBGC's, spiritual home to the Ramones, Talking Heads, Television and Blondie.
"Please Kill Me" goes backstage and behind apartment doors to chronicle the sex, drugs and power struggles that were the very fabric of the American punk community, to the time before piercing and tattoos became commonplace and when every concert, new band and fashion statement marked an absolute first. From Iggy Pop and Lou Reed to the Clash and the Sex Pistols (the first time around), McNeil and McCain document a time of glorious self-destruction and perverse innocence -possibly the last time so many will have so mauch fun in the pursuit of excess.
