具体描述
What Britain refined, America defined. Assembled by two key figures at the heart of the movement and told through the voices o musicians, artists, iconoclastic reporters and entrepreneurial groupies, PLEASE KILL ME is the full decadent story of the American punk scene, through the early years of Andy Warhol's Factory to the New York underground of Max's Kansas City and later, its heyday at CBGB's, spiritual home to the Ramones, Talking Heads, Television and Blondie. PLEASE KILL ME goes backstage and behind apartment doors to chronicle the sex, drugs and power struggles that were the very fabric of the American punk community, to the time before piercing and tattoos became commonplace and when every concert, new band and fashion statement marked an absolute first. From Iggy Pop and Lou Reed to the Clash and the Sex Pistols (the first time around), Mc Neil and Mc Cain document a time of glorious self-destruction and perverse innocence - possibly the last time so many will so much fun in the pursuit of excess.

有趣的大杂烩。不管是“摇滚”,还是“朋克”,单一的名词无法抹去人与他人之间的实质差别。书里既有Iggy Popp这样的性情中人,也有为赋新词强说愁的傻瓜,还有自以为是动机不纯的投机份子;对了,还有sid这样的可怜人,他从来没有玩过摇滚,都是摇滚在玩他,一不小心就叫摇滚...
摇滚的生命在于叛逆,今天的人已经不知道还有什么可以去叛逆的了,该叛的都被人叛完了。所以摇滚式微,老崔窦唯之类都奔电子与爵士去也。偶然听到一个清新的声音,也只不过昙花一现。 书名让我想起Beck的那首Loser: I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me...
这帮出了名的混混充分证明了药物的力量。药物激发了潜在的力量,于是各自有各自的飞。神话就是这样产生的,因为没有两片相同的树叶。这是一本有趣的八卦,一个充满空间感的幻想领域。恍惚间我找不到“电视”的首张专集了,看他们做封面的书那么久了,不由想听他们那种神经质的...
我是前年在当当买的,那个时候只要7块钱,现在你看看,物价涨了多少倍阿,这个世道看起来不是很太平,是不是?相信你也和我一样有同感,可是为什么我们国家一直在宣传我们是盛世呢?如果回答不上来,那么请让我宰了你!
好,让我们一起坐下来想象,那些居心叵测的总想粉饰摇滚的伪善的人们,在读这本书的时候,会将自己道貌岸然的脸庞扭曲成一个怎样匪夷所思的形状。 这本书的包装一点都不诱人,从封面TELEVISION半死不活的表情以及胸口的血,到那个仿佛无聊的小报试图吸引人们眼球的烂俗标题“...
