"Please kill me!" is the first true history of the most nihilistic of all pop movements, a comprehensive account of the unbridled and explosive "punk era" through the mouths of those directly involved, from the heyday of Andy Warhol's Factory in the sixties to the death throes of the "corporate rock" of the eighties. Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, David Johansen, Dee Dee Ramone, Nico, Patti Smith, Richard Hell, Malcolm McLaren and many other iconic figures of the punk generation speak from the pages of this frank and shocking book - in fact, a "documentary novel" according to the formula "sex, drugs, rock and roll."
