Description

Walter Lure's memoir offers an unvarnished look at life in 1970s New York and London's punk scene. Drawing from his own journals, Lure recounts the chaotic beginnings of Johnny Thunders' Heartbreakers, their infamous UK tour with the Sex Pistols and the Clash, and the birth of UK punk. Lure shares a vivid portrait of life on both continents, including the music, characters, clothes, fights, drugs, and orgies that defined this pivotal moment in rock 'n' roll history. He also lays bare his own battle with addiction and reflects on his life after the band's split, rising to become a Wall Street fixture while still pursuing music. This memoir is a gripping account of one of the most notorious junkies in rock 'n' roll history, told by someone who was there from the start.
