Caroline Collett, Part 2
"...The singles titles say it all. “Orgasm Addict” promises fiction, romance. “Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn'tve?)” And of course, “What Do I Get?” so perfectly expressing the primal cry of youth? There was also a celebration of androgyny within punk, which further amplified glam rock’s earlier bisexual and sexually ambivalent posturing. As a tomboy and non-traditional girl, I knew I'd found my countercultural home here. What I love most about punk was its absence of definitions. I aspired to become a freer, wilder, stronger person, and it felt amazing to be part of something that actually encouraged you to become more of those things..."
This is Caroline Collett revisiting her latest work, What Do I Get? My Teenage Punk Rock Diary, as excerpted from "Caroline Collett, Part 2" in conversation with co-hosts Jessica Schwartz and Paul Hollins.
