It was a quick read and kind of interesting. I am Gen X, so I knew to read this "for the time and place" and while unsavory things happened, I wasn't offended by them. I know they no longer happen, but they happened then....
I liked the references to real places and people. The Hairdos, especially.
It's a good story and read.

Back in the late 1970s when the music world was abuzz, punk rock took over lower Manhattan. First at Max's Kansas City and CBGBs, and then at the Mudd Club and a host of other locations, loud, raucous rock and roll was the name of the game. Browner told me that he wrote this as an "airport book," not intended to be more than an afternoon's entertainment. I recognized many, many people I knew in its pages. Virtually every character is based upon a real person, thinly veiled. As a light, fun artifact of its time, I give it three stars.
