Description
Larry Livermore's life is a testament to the power of perseverance and determination. In this memoir, he recounts his experiences attending pivotal events in music history, including the original Woodstock and the Supremes' homecoming in Detroit. However, it is his story as the founder of Lookout Records that provides the most insight into the world of punk rock. Livermore's account of building the Lookout Records scene is a compelling commentary on the challenges of creating a community in a material way. He shares his own struggles with insecurity and self-doubt, as well as his relationships with other key figures in the punk movement. The result is a well-written and engaging narrative that offers a unique perspective on the history of punk rock. Through his story, Livermore sheds light on the inner workings of a record label and the personalities that shaped its success. With a parallel narrative to Punk USA: The Rise and Fall of Lookout Records, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the Lookout Records phenomenon and its lasting impact on the music world.
