I think we did. But our first completed draft was 800 pages, which Penguin was not going to publish. We had to shave out so much. And of course people were pissed. As Bucky Sinister once reminded me, "if you publish a punk book and nobody's angry, then it isn't a punk book." I may share some more of those excerpts here!
Love every bit of this. Did you ever talk to any of the folks in Psychotic Pineapple?

Bucky speaks the truth!
I don't know how Psychotic Pineapple made it's way to a record bin in Falls Church, Virginia in the early 80s but I loved them so much!
