Reply to "San Francisco"

I just came across a book of photographs, published a few years back, by photographer Jim Jacoy-- portraits of the punk scene in SF & LA in the late 1970s. It's quite an oddball thing-- no one is identified at all, whether they are famous like the members of the Cramps or Darby Crash, or not so famous, like the remarkable Vicky Schrott and Don Vinil. But there is also a great short intro by Exene Cervenka in which she mentions having still being able to see Carol Doda descend on her piano in that era. Some glaring omissions, too-- like me, and Pops and Ande... Also some inexplicable writings from Thurston Moore, but he may have been a young Cal Arts student back then... And an intro by Marc Jacobs, who I don't think ever lived there.
There is also a gorgeous pic of a young Needles Jones clutching her trademark accessory-- a lunchbox-- and a good 15 years before that other "Party Monster!"
