Title: Bruce and Billy interviewed for upcoming book on late '60s LA culture Post by: rn57 on March 31, 2015, 12:37:11 PM http://www.laweekly.com/music/please-kill-mes-punk-historians-turn-their-attention-to-la-in-the-late-60s-5457754
Interview with Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain, best known for co-authoring that oral history of punk Please Kill Me back in the '90s. That book was criticized for the short shrift it gave to LA (apart from chronicling the Stooges' and NY Dolls' misadventures there), so now Legs and Gillian are writing "69: An Oral History," focused entirely on LA, especially the Strip and all that emerged from it. Their timeline seems to be from around the Strip riots in '66 up to Manson's arrest at the end of '69. They list several of their interviews so far and these include Bruce and Billy Hinsche. (And Ned Doheny, ex-GTOs Pamela and Mercy, Sharon Tate's sister Debra.) So it seems pretty evident that the BBs will be among the subjects covered in the book. Due out in a couple of years. |
