I’ve been reading @theejohndoe and @desavia's new book “Under the Big Black Sun: A Personal History of L.A. Punk.” It is the most true-to-form account of the provocative early L.A. punk rock days with stories from major players like #JohnDoe and #ExeneCervenka of X but also #JaneWiedlin and #CharlotteCaffey from the Go-Go’s, #RobertLopez, #TeresaCovarrubias, #MikeWatt, #ChrisMorris, #HenryRollins, #DaveAlvin, @JackGrisham, #ChrisDesjardins, and more. The book is a collection of perspectives and stories from that time that leave you with a good sense of the DIY community that was burgeoning. The culturally significant late 70’s and early 80’s in L.A. was a huge influence on my musical tastes, my art, my punk rock sensibilities and it’s been a nostalgic and inspiring journey to read this document of music history. In my opinion, there has never been a book about this era that narrows in on what was happening from the perspective of the people that were making it happen.
I was also incredibly honored when @desavia describes the importance of flyer art and the ubiquitous flyer culture of the time and accurately points to how this untraditional art form seeped into the creative minds and souls of artists - both music and visual, and inspired the likes of me and @バンクシー. That’s very true; I'm not sure if he's heard me mention flyer culture as an inspiration in interviews, but if the connection seemed obvious to him intuitively, he was correct. Support your local bookstore and go buy “Under the Big Black Sun.” You can also find it on Amazon if you do things that way – link in profile. There have been some great articles about this book, check out stories in @Rolling Stone and @Esquire if you’d like to read more about it!
