HARDCORE PUNK IN THE AGE OF REAGAN ft. ROBERT FITZGERALD x.com/i/broadcasts/1…


"I heartily recommend reading it with a device that streams music within reach. That way, if there’s a song you don’t know or aren’t sure you remember, chances are you can find it in the internet ether and turn it up. LOUD, of course." Exactly what I hoped readers would do!

Another much appreciated read and review of my book, this time from Ron Jacobs at @NatCounterPunch. #punk @UNC_Press counterpunch.org/2025/06/23/pun…
