Track 14: Hardcore Punk

Liner Notes: This time on Text Prose & RocknRoll, Kris is joined by author Nancy Barile who was front and center at the dawning of American Hardcore Punk. Her experience is the subject of her new memoir, "I'm Not Holding Your Coat" (Bazillion Points). When you think of hardcore punk, you might envision angry mobs of mohawked delinquents. You might not think of an award winning high school teacher who readily admits to once recognizing the merits of disco. But to hear Nancy Barile tell it, that's the idea behind punk: Do your own thing. In her new memoir, "I'm Not Holding Your Coat", Nancy explains what it was really like at the forefront of the punk movement and how she survived some of the most notorious hardcore shows ever. Nancy's book, "I'm Not Holding Your Coat" is available now and published by Bazillion Points. Purchase your copy here.
