Dumb punk rock for intellectuals

Gift reprint of the cult autobiography "Dumb punk rock for intellectuals" with new stories, interviews, posters and archival photographs.
punk rock and intellectuals - it would seem that things are not connected, but the leader of "cockroaches!" Dmitry Sid Spirin masterfully proves the opposite. Behind the ironic name of the book lies not just the story of one group, but a cut of the life of informals of the 90s of the whole of Russia - at the same time funny and bitter. The author recalls everyone who was next to them then: from the King and the Jester "and" Naiva "to Alexander Vasiliev from" Spleen "and Nikolai Baskov!
"cockroaches!" - The main group of my youth. In this book - a chronicle of how they turned from restless and hungry boys from the west of Moscow into the authors of the great album "Street of Freedom". The album, where the rule is formulated, to which since then I myself have been very striving: Live the way you want, but let others live.
