Jon Savage
Punk Legends Speak Out in Metropolitan Museum of Art's New Costume Institute Book
Andrew Bolton, the curator of the Costume Institute's upcoming exhibition, "Punk: Chaos to Couture", got Johnny Rotten (of the Sex Pistols, PIL, and butter commercials), Richard Hell (founder of Television and later the Heartbreakers), and Jon Savage (who literally wrote the book on punk) to contribute essays for the tome. But it almost didn't happen, at least for Richard Hell, who definitely still shows some signs of an "us vs. them" punk attitude.
