Book Reviews of Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk
Book Review: Funny, sad, infuriating
Summary: 5 Stars
This isn't just a musical history. It's a great story. I've read it repeatedly, and it evokes the whole range of emotions. Some of the stories are hilarious. Others left me horribly sad, often mourning the loss of some of rock's great musicians. Others made me angry, hating many of the people whose music I grew up loving. I don't think I came out admiring any of these people. In fact, the book made me glad that some of them are dead. David Bowie, the married man who slept with teenagers. Patti Smith, the self-hating woman who put down other women every time she got a chance. And what do you say about Johnny Thunders? Not much that's good. I did come out remembering how much I love the music, though, and I had a few laughs along the way.
