This week’s installment of the BookPeople podcast is a punk-rockin’ hoot. Earlier this month we hosted John Doe of Los Angeles-based punk band X presenting More Fun in the New World with filmmaker and contributor to the book, Bill Morgan.
Picking up where Under the Big Black Sun left off, More Fun in the New World explores the years 1982 to 1987, covering the dizzying pinnacle of L.A.’s punk rock movement as its stars took to the national — and often international — stage, detailing the eventual splintering of punk into various sub-genres.
Listen in here as John and Bill reminisce and reflect on a scene and a movement that changed the landscape of music forever, and be sure to snag a signed copy of More Fun in the New World for yourself (and a friend, or two)!
