Punk And In Love

From big hair to skate punk, Southern California could claim the lion's share of responsibility for the cultural trends of the 1980s. Grungy nightclubs, beauty salons and the mean streets of Los Angeles provided the nexus for the styles and sounds we've come to regard with both nostalgic reverence and mockery. In Punk and in Love: A Memoir about Men, Music and Hair in the 80s, Michel Miller recalls the zeitgeist and her place in it with this quick and dirty trip down memory lane.
