Publisher's summary

Fifteen stories from the '80s set in Los Angeles by LA punk queen Brenda Perlin and her friends who lived every moment of an electric era in the City of Angels. That unique and precious time when punk rock was more than just a rebellion.

Inside, you’ll discover Billy Idol. Iggy Pop. X. U2. Bad religion. Tales of local punk rockers on the brink of glorious fame. Late nights at the Roxy. Wild times at the Whiskey with some of the best rock ever. Here, you’ll find the in-your-face attitude, the clothes, the fashion, the sex, the music as hard as nails and fast as lightning.

Brenda and her friends were somewhere every night queuing backstage, in hotel rooms with the band, partying on the streets, and avoiding irate parents on school nights! It’s all here. The next thing to being there...

Reads like a Young Adult story

OK subject matter decent stories, but reads like a young adult fantasy book. The chapters about Billy Idol come across as patronizing and mocking.
