My Rock Moment: Genny Schorr on the LA '70s punk scene and her new book 'All Roads Lead to Punk'

Genny Schorr is a guitarist, songwriter, stylist, and a defining voice of the LA punk scene — and now she’s chronicling it all in her new book, All Roads Lead to Punk.

In this episode, Genny shares the wild, candid story of her path through 1970s Los Angeles: from forming Backstage Pass — one of the first female punk bands in the city — to launching Strait Jacket, the LA boutique that became a style hub for rock’s biggest names.

She also reflects on her years styling and living with Linda Ronstadt, as well as styling and touring with The Bangles at the height of their success.

It’s a memorable conversation with someone whose stories bring the era to life in a way only an insider can.

Elvis Costello & The Attractions - "Pump It Up"
