Please Kill Me is the snarling, sweat-soaked origin story of punk told by the people who bled for it. Through raw, unfiltered interviews with Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Dee Dee Ramone, and countless others, McNeil and McCain piece together a chaotic oral history of art as self-destruction and salvation. It’s funny, filthy, tragic, and true — a testament to the beautiful wreckage that happens when rage finds rhythm.
