PUNK magazine from New York City publishes it's
7th edition this month. Featuring Patti Smith, Satan,
Eddie And The Hot Rods and more.
Punk was produced by cartoonist John Holstrom, Ged Dunn and
Legs McNeil. "All summer we had been listening to this album Go
Girl Crazy by this unknown group called the Dictators, and it
changed our lives. We'd just get drunk every night and lip-sync
to it . . . " said McNeil. "I hated most rock 'n' roll, because it was
about lame hippie stuff, and there really wasn't anyone
describing our lives -- which was McDonald's, beer, and TV
reruns."
Holmstrom wanted to publish a magazine with Ged Dunn and
McNeil. McNeil envisioned the magazine as a Dictators album
come to life. On the inside sleeve of the record was a picture of
the Dictators hanging out at White Castle, dressed in leather
jackets. "So I thought the magazine should be for other fuck-ups
like us. Kids who grew up believing only in the Three Stooges.
Kids that had parties when their parents were away and
destroyed the house. You know, kids that stole cars and had fun.
So I said, 'Why don't we call it Punk?" The word 'punk' seemed
to sum up the threat that connected everything we liked -- drunk,
obnoxious, smart but not pretentious, absurd, funny, ironic, and
things that appealed to the darker side."
Holmstrom agreed, and became the editor, Dunn, the publisher,
and McNeil the resident punk. "And they both started laughing hysterically. Ged and John were both like four years older
than me. And I think half the reason they hung out with me was because I was always getting drunk and into trouble and
Holmstrom found it constantly amusing. So it was decided I would be a living cartoon character, like Alfred E. Neuman
was to Mad Magazine. And Holmstrom changed my name from Eddie to Legs . . . It's funny, but we had no idea if
anybody besides the Dictators were out there. We had no idea about CBGB's and what was going on, but I don't think
we cared. We just liked the idea of Punk magazine. And that was all that really mattered."
