I'm Not Holding Your Coat: My Bruises-and-All Memoir of Punk Rock Rebellion

ISBN: 1935950207

Author: Nancy Barile

Condition: New

From disenchanted Catholic schoolgirl and glam maniac to instigator on the 1980s hardcore punk scene, Nancy Barile discovered freedom at a time when punk music was new and dangerous. She made her place behind the boards and right in the front row as insurgents such as SSD, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag wrote new rules and made history. She survived punk riots and urban decay, ran the streets with outcasts, and ultimately found true love as she fought for fairness and found her purpose.Table of Contents:A Conversation with Ian MacKayeIntroduction1.
