Read this book during the first few weeks of March in 2019.
This was a very fun read about that crazy punk music scene in Los Angeles during the years of 1977 through 1982 written by John Doe of the band X and music journalist Tom DeSavia. There are also contributions from other band members such as Exene Cervenka from X, Henry Rollins from Black Flag, Mike Watt from The Minutemen, Jane Wiedlin and Charlotte Caffrey from The Go-Go's, Dave Alvin from The Blasters and many more. The book really does paint a very indepth picture of the scene. Maybe it's not the definitive documentation of the L.A. punk scene but it is certainly entertaining.
