This book had a heavy rep when I was a little punk rocker baby boy. It was, in pre-internet days, one of the only places you could see photos of iggy Pop’s cock or Keith Richards actually shooting up dope.
The few who bought it for more than the photos were regaled with sordid histories of depravity and degradation Stories that have flashed DANGER to the public as media fodder going all the way back to the 50s.
Rock ‘n’ Roll Babylon is guaranteed to shatter some parasocial idealizations in much need of shattering. (Google Celebrity Worship Syndrome before the tattoo parlor)
1st Ed. 1982.
