While most teenagers daydreamed of summer break while playing rock 'n' roll in t
heir bedrooms, fourteen-year-old Paul Zone danced away his youth in underground
clubs with those very same rock stars, exploring the concrete playground with ac
tors, drag queens, and drug addicts. The mid-1970s was a time when the death of
glam and the birth of punk rock collided in a celebration of glitter and grunge,
and Zone had a front-row seat to it all. In this incredible photo memoir, Zone
shares personal images that have never been released to the public alongside mem
ories of the era, all through the eyes of a youngster whose reverential regard t
o his subjects made him a regular fixture in the lives of these greats.
Zone
captures the joys and the fantasy of the New York underground with a genuine int
imacy, making this volume a worthy tribute to the legends of underground rock ro
yalty.
