Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain

Punk rock, whatever you think of the music, is an essential piece of culture history and as society continues to swirl the drain there are plenty of lessons to learn here.
(And thanks to my friend Jess for nabbing me a signed copy of this must-read for anyone who thinks they’re badass.)
