Born to Rock - Heavy Drinkers and Thinkers (Paperback, illustrated edition)

Collection of writings exposing punk's long-standing political and philosophical traditions beyond the violence and fashion of this often-misrepresented subculture. Through a series of well-researched interviews, "Born to Rock covers everything from a junky skateboarder's death wish to a hardcore clinical psychologist's vision of a better world. In between, there is censorship, children's rights, art, photography, and a lot of drunken, good times; like the music itself, this book is funny, sad, fast, angry, smart, and redemptive.
