A rough and tumble collection of memories, poetry, and fiction from Sonny Vincent, the legendary underground rock 'n' roller. Slinging newspapers at Playland. Meditations on Formica. Loud nights at Max's and C.B.G.B.'s. Evil karma from Page 1. The Moon Ticket & Sterling from the Velvet Underground. Playing Wipe Out on your stomach. Get ready. His writing debut is fast, raw, and wild.
what a fun collection of essays! i wouldn't quite classify this as an autobiography, but as a collectio nfo short stories, poems, fictional skits, and comedic life moments from sonny vincent of 70s fame. its frantic and everywhere, but doesnt really make me want to stop along the way; i had re-picked this up after blowing through halfway through. it's not anything mind blowing per say, but i think the frenetic tone makes the writing feel so real, as though it's a snapshot into his crazed life
Punk icon Sonny Vincent of The Testors notoriety gives us a glimpse into his twisted memories and rather strange mind. Deeply enjoyable, unpredictable and inspiring!
