Description

The Sonic Youth frontman takes us from a 1960s childhood rock 'n' roll epiphany, through the subversive world of 1970s punk blasting forth from New York City, to traversing the globe with a band who changed the sound of modern alternative rock music and opened the minds of a generation of artists.
