More fun in the new world

More fun in the new world: the unmaking and legacy of L.A. punk / John Doe with Tom DeSavia and friends, 341 pgs.

Exploring the years 1982 - 1987 and the punk scene in L.A., this book has a host of essays and interviews with people who were on the scene.  I listened to the audio book which was fantastic.  Everyone talking about how they started out, how they got big (or did NOT get big) and how it ended.  Even if you were not a fan of the music, the movement went on to have great influence musically and just as an attitude.  The legacy is interesting but the voices of the people who lived it and their comments are worth a listen.
