It’s been a while since I’ve done anything music related.
“No Fun”, a BBC documentary on the birth of punk rock.
Bonus: “Punk ’76”, another punk documentary. It seems to me that “No Fun” has more coverage of punk in America, while “Punk ’76” is primarily English, and specifically about the punk scene around Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood’s store.
I started working on this earlier this morning, but this is breaking just now: Tommy Lasorda. ESPN. No LAT, because you basically can’t read anything without a subscription and your ad-blocker disabled.
