Thanks for the 16 T mention Penny. I own one Dead Kennedy’s seven inch: Holiday in Cambodia. ‘It’s tough kid but it’s life’. Brilliant mix of anger and humour.
Were people still gobbing in 1981? I don’t remember that, but I had drastically slowed down my gig going by then, so perhaps I missed those bands and gigs where it did still happen.
Sadly, I never caught the Dead Kennedys and regret it hugely. And, an important point, perhaps the greatest band name of all time?
Not seen your book yet here in Berlin, Penny, but I’m in Manchester next week and will try to pick it up there. Looking forward to reading it!

Not bought yet, Penny…ha-ha!
But will!
I'd forgotten about the gobbing, but it was mentioned in the review. It was always a stupid idea. And thanks for buying my book.
Happy birthday, Jello Biafra
