Punk Is A Four-Letter Word

The finest written words from the legendarily opinionated front-man and songwriter of Screeching Weasel and The Riverdales. Culled from his own zine, Panic Button, caustic columns from Maximum Rock ‘N’ Roll, and two new essays, including “The Infinite Joys Of Being A Professional Musician,” this is a smart (not to say smart-assed) collection of sarcastic, accusatory, hilarious, and often self-deprecating diatribes, rants, opinion pieces, reportage, and some excellent in-depth articles. From the horrors of low-paying jobs to hanging backstage with Nirvana, and sartorial elegance for punk rockers, this is the world of punk according to Mr. Weasel. And its not such a bad place to be, or at least, visit.
