A must-read for anyone interested in early punk and the whole scene:

The book goes into detail as to how the Velvet Underground basically came to existence and how Andy Warhol fits into the whole equation.

Fuckin' LOVE that book! I've given away 2 copies, it's so good!

Now reading Legs' oral history of Porn movies, THE OTHER HOLLYWOOD.

Hoping to read his GIRL WITH THE MOST CAKE next. It's autobiographical, have you read it?

Warhol is so under-rated, "Oh, all he did was silk-screens." RRRRRRRong!!

He was one of the first artists to embrace all media. And there was his good-heartedness and sense of humor to appreciate.

He was an early punk, essentially.

please kill me is the best book ever!!!!!

Warhol is my hero.

Yeah, Legs and Gillian pulled out alla the stops on that one!

I found out that on holidays, Warhol would volunteer to serve the homeless at his Catholic church! Wow, who'da thunk, mischievous punk and friend to the homeless! Too cool...
