While most teenagers
daydreamed of summer break while playing records in their bedrooms,
fourteen-year-old Paul Zone spent his youth immersed in the New York
underground, exploring the concrete playground with actors, drag queens, and
drug addicts. The mid-1970s was a time when the death of Glam and the birth of
Punk collided in a celebration of glitter and grime, and Zone had a front-row
seat to it all. In his new photo memoir Playground:Growing Up in New York Underground, Paul Zone shares his reminiscences alongside never-before-seen
photographs of a time and a place that have become synonymous with the history
of music and culture in the late twentieth century. Paul joins us today in studio to talk all
about his book and that era.
