And don't get me wrong, I lo...That's funny Camille. And don't get me wrong, I loved England's Dreaming and that approach to history, but Please Kill Me was a much more lively read.Dan 10Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534869021494671522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869535899744508416.post-6991821962228993762009-04-12T20:23:00.000-07:002009-04-12T20:23:00.000-07:00I do like the over-intellectual literary reference...I do like the over-intellectual literary references in England's Dreaming, though. I started reading serious literature because of that book and another one that pointed out the influence of Graham Greene's Brighton Rock on the punk movement.

Granted it leaves out a lot of punk bands I loved, but for the whole picture, it's pretty damn thorough. Hell, even 10 Things got plugged with a few other music fanzines during the 90s era. I do think a book mostly comprised of quotes can work in some cases, Leggs McNeil's "Please Kill Me" and "We Got the Neutron Bomb" both took a similar approach, and I think they are two of the most important books on punk history... and they are exciting to read. Where as "England's Dreaming" was much more researched and thorough, but can be a bit boring in parts.Dan 10Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534869021494671522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869535899744508416.post-53693814334715479622009-04-10T05:24:00.000-07:002009-04-10T05:24:00.000-07:00this book is a collection of quotes, pretty weak i...this book is a collection of quotes, pretty weak if you ask me.<BR/>I'd rather read a book by a 19 year old, if it's well researched and it out together well.<BR/>I'd take that over the <BR/>"where you there" factor any day.<BR/>-richRichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992684222773542616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869535899744508416.post-59837707294709021202009-04-02T17:16:00.000-07:002009-04-02T17:16:00.000-07:00theres some truth to this"not the so-called expert...theres some truth to this<BR/><BR/>"not the so-called experts, who didn't show up until the '90s."<BR/><BR/>where were you in 82?howardxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869535899744508416.post-66180759646140247952009-04-02T16:17:00.000-07:002009-04-02T16:17:00.000-07:00Awesome, another book I can not read.Awesome, another book I can not read.dougnoreply@blogger.com
