By 1970, the hippie dream of the 60s was dead the soundtrack of the revolution had become a multimilliondollar industry. Glitter tried to save music's soul, but was too commercial to be cutting edge for long. Then, in 1974, a rescue movement arrived. Three chords, black jeans, a pair of shades, and a whole lot of attitude made music that matched the facts of life on its home ground, mid70's New York City's East Village. The initiators of punk, Richard Hell, Tom Verlaine, and Patti Smith had one foot in nineteenthcentury French symbolist poetry and the other in the raw sound of their predecessors such as the Velvet Underground. This firsthand account of a littledocumented era features luminaries such as Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Debbie Harry, Divine, Devo, and the New York Dolls, and tells of the gigs at CBGB hitting the news as Warhol and his glittering crew descended. What began as a unique blend of findesie ennui and razorsharp rock became anarchic frenzy and safety pins, overrun by gutter decadence and stupidchic. With Malcolm McLaren hijacking the scene's momentum, the Blank Generation plunged into excess and eventual ruin, its survivors making the leap into mainstream.
