Kwazy Linkage, man.  Kwazy.

Once in 9th grade during  class I was reading some book about the 70's English punk scene.  The teacher took it off my desk, ripped it in half, and threw it out the window.
 
 The shitty part was, I had borrowed it from some girl who was borrowing it from her sister and it was out of print.

There's no way that isn't staged.

This is the book.  Too bad they didn't have the internet then. Dunno why it was called "1988"...still was a few years away.

There's a copy at the Performing Arts Library at the U of M CP but it's in the Keesing collection; you can't check it out and you can only see it M-F 10am-5pm. It's in the Special Collections room (curated by Mr. Vincent J. Novara).

You're not serious are you?  Now I feel even worse about getting that girls book destroyed.  I remember calling every bookstore in town trying to get it replaced.  No dice.

Totally serious. The Hugo Keesing Collection is a vast treasure trove of popular music culture. Keesing was an American Studies professor who specialized in popular music. He and his brother Wouter collected mountains of books, magazines, recordings and peripheral items such as board games and lunch boxes. Many of the books are the sort of of-the-moment publications found in mall-type book stores and mainstream record stores--the kind of books that go out of print almost as soon as they're published.
