Someone is borrowing my copy right now, so I can’t tell if it’s word-for-word, but Erick Lyle == Iggy Scam, right? (As in “Scam Punks”?)

the book “on the lower frequencies” by erick lyle is also required mission reading, along the same lines. and he has a love affair with san carlos street too.

regardless of political bent – agree or not – it’s a sweet, reminiscent, personal account…more about the advent of the dot com boom, and the ensuing changes in the hood, from the perspective of a punk rock activist type.

nicely written in my opinion.
