I love that book (Please Kill Me)!

It really made me respect the New York Dolls and Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers more. I think JT and the H are underrated, mostly as a result of the botched pressing of LAMF. The new digitally remastered version kills.

I have always loved Patti Smith, Television, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, the Ramones and Iggy.

I do love the Sex Pistols, The Clash, and a host of other UK bands, but I agree, they were all copying Johnny Thunders and Richard Hell.

I have got to put in a word for my local San Francisco punk idols, the Avengers, the Dils, the Mutants and the Dead Kennedys.

I could go on and on...
