Love and listen to his beautiful enthusiasm. For Steve it was the Angry young men writers and crucial, life-changing encounters with good people and kindred spirits, like hearing Toots and the Maytals and having that precious first glimpse at cool style and attitude. This is a story about being inspired and opening yourself up to great art. I felt it because I did the same thing and so did you. I felt like I was there with him pacing around that empty little apartment wondering what to do and where to go, and if anything different from that boredom was even possible. Yes there are great Crass stories here, but for me the most interesting part is Steve's childhood and adolescence. If you want to talk punk rock, then I'll say Crass is the ultimate and leave it at that. In fact, he's one of the greatest rock and roll singers for one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. This is the life of an artist, and no need to worry your pretty little heads about it, Steve Ignorant IS an artist.
