Punk Is A Four-Letter Word: Columns, Articles And Essays 1991-2002

The finest written words from the legendarily opinionated frontman and songwriter of Screeching Weasel and The Riverdales. Culled from his own zine, Panic Button, caustic columns from Maximum Rock N Roll, and two new essays, including 'The Infinite Joys Of Being A Professional Musician', this is a smart (not to say smart-assed) collection of sarcastic, accusatory, hilarious and often self-deprecating diatribes, rants, opinion pieces, reportage, and some excellent in-depth articles. From the horrors of low-paying jobs, to hanging backstage with Nirvana, and sartorial elegance for punk rockers, this is the world of punk according to Mr Weasel. And its not such a bad place to be, or at least, visit.
