While I was 'Punk light' (well - more into its offshoot, New Wave) back in the day, the music still resonates today. I was never one to stick a safety pin in my face, 'dance' in a mosh pit, or Heaven forbid - spit. Anyone who shoved or spat on me usually earned a punch in the face. Anyway... The images and newspaper clips featured in this book give an outsider a pretty good idea of punk and its roots. I'm glad that I bought this book way back in the early 80's, 'cause some of the prices on Amazon - one copy is over $300! - are the antithesis of what punk is. lol
