It is almost impossible to capture the remarkable life and career of Bebe Buell. Discovered by super agent Eileen Ford who relocated Bebe from her hometown of Virginia Beach, Virginia, to New York City where her passion, charisma and stellar looks propelled her into the limelight of Manhattan's music scene. After meeting musical genius Todd Rundgren, the two moved in together and began a steady relationship. When Bebe posed for Playboy in 1974, she became the first fashion model to become a Playboy Playmate (Miss November), but her controversial layout caused her to be fired by the prestigious Ford modeling agency. Affectionately called “Friend To The Stars,” Bebe earned the title because of her closeness to everyone from Jack Nicholson to Andy Warhol, and her carte blanche access to rock’s elite royalty including relationships with Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Rod Stewart, Stiv Bators, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. Bebe’s musical career jumpstarted with her first release, “Covers Girl” (1981) produced by Ric Ocasek and Rick Derringer and featured legendary group The Cars backing her on two tracks. She formed The Gargoyles; the female-fronted, hard rock unit that was ahead of its time and caught the eye of Joey Ramone who had the band open for The Ramones. Soon, offers of record deals followed. But when Bebe’s daughter Liv found out her father was actually Steven Tyler, and not Todd Rundgren, 1991 became a year of big changes. Well documented in the media, Bebe has said that she didn’t want to tell Liv who her real father was because of Steven’s heavy drug addiction at the time. Todd had known that he was not the biological father of Liv but had kept the secret in order to give both Bebe and Liv some semblance of a stable home. As Steven got sober, the news of Liv’s parentage was no longer a secret. Bebe withdrew from the public eye to focus on raising her daughter. Seven years later, after a series of live shows at famed downtown mecca Don Hill’s, The Bebe Buell Band was born. Around this time, Cameron Crowe released the film “Almost Famous” which is heavily based on certain elements of Bebe’s life. Crowe crafted some of the film’s dialogue from Bebe, which he remembered during their friendship on the road with Todd Rundgren in 1973. Released in 2001, Buell's autobiography “Rebel Heart; An American Rock And Roll Journey” (St, Martin’s Press) was a New York Times Bestseller. For almost 20 years she has been married to Jim Wallerstein of Das Damen and Vacationland fame. A musician, mother, muse, model, celebrated lover, manager, best selling author, and pop culture icon, music has always held her deepest passion. Boy Scout talked to Bebe about and spirituality, sex, and Patti Smith.

As one of the leading figures of the No Wave Cinema Movement (1976-1985) which developed out the New York East Village music and art community, Amos Poe is considered one of the world's first punk filmmakers. Contemporaries of the time included Jim Jarmusch, Eric Mitchell, Beth B and Scott B, Vivienne Dick, John Lurie, Becky Johnston, James Nares and Nick Zedd who embraced the artistic sensibilities of the avant-garde, French New Wave, and B-Movie genres. In 1975, Poe collaborated with artist Ivan Kral (bassist of The Patti Smith Group) to create The Blank Generation, which includes early performances of Iggy Pop, Blondie, Patti Smith, Television, Richard Hell and the Heartbreakers, The Ramones, Talking Heads, and Wayne County. Beginning in 1976, Poe experimented with the theme of alienating modernity amid new environments in his next three films, Unmade Beds, (1976) The Foreigner, (1978) and Subway Riders (1981). Unmade Beds is an homage to Godard's Breathless while The Foreigner, starring Eric Mitchell and Debbie Harry, shares sensibilities with Jim Jarmusch's Permanent Vacation and Susan Seidelman's Smithereens. Poe was also the director of the Public-access television cable TV show TV Party hosted by Glenn O'Brien and Blondie’s Chris Stein. Widely and wildly admired as a filmmaker, writer and producer, The New York Times has called Amos Poe a “pioneering indie filmmaker.” One of the first punk filmmakers and Eddie Cockrell of The American Film Institute summed it up in a nutshell: “Amos Poe is not afraid to simultaneously challenge and move an audience. Seldom, if ever, in American cinema has a sensibility of such avant garde and seemingly pessimistic tastes produced films of such compassion and reflection.” Boy Scout talked to Poe about culture, cockroaches and Nat King Cole.

Legs McNeil is one of the three original founders of the seminal Punk magazine that gave the punk movement its name. At the age of 19, McNeil gathered with two high school friends and decided to create "some sort of media thing" for a living. The name "Punk" was decided upon because "it seemed to sum up...everything...obnoxious, smart but not pretentious, absurd, ironic, and things that appealed to the darker side”. A contemporary classic, Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk is the definitive oral history of the most nihilistic of all pop movements. Iggy Pop, Richard Hell, the Ramones, and scores of other punk figures lend their voices to this decisive account of that explosive era. It is the number one best-selling Punk book of all time. It has been published in 12 languages and helped launch the oral history trend in music books. McNeil is a former editor at Spin, served as editor-in-chief of Nerve Magazine, writes a column for VICE and his own website pleasekillme.com. McNeil also co-author of The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry, I Slept with Joey Ramone (A Punk Rock Family Memoir) with Mickey Leigh, Joey Ramone’s real brother, and Dear Nobody: The True Diary of Mary Rose which is another collaborative effort with Gillian McCain. For 20 years, McNeil and McCain have been working on 69, a book that documents the late-‘60s California music scene and Manson’s role in it. Boy Scout talked to McNeil about CBGB, Cheeseburgers, and Charles Bukowski.

John Holmstrom is best known for illustrating the covers of The Ramones albums Rocket to Russia and Road to Ruin, as well as his characters Bosko and Joe published in Scholastic's Bananas magazine. As the founding editor of Punk Magazine in 1975 at the age of 22, Holmstrom's work became the visual representation of the punk era. Punk magazine announced an exploding youth movement, a new direction in American counterculture. It was to magazines what the stage at CBGB was to music: the gritty, live-wired, throbbing center of the punk universe. Despite its low-rent origins, the mag was an overnight success in the underground music scene, selling out every print run across the US and UK. Every musician who appeared on the cover of Punk became an icon of the era. But Punk not only championed music, it became a launching pad for writers, artists, cartoonists, and graphic designers. And the wacky, sardonic, slapstick vibe of the magazine resonated with an international army of music fanatics who were ready to burn their bell bottoms and stage-dive into the punk universe. After Punk ceased publication in 1979, he worked for several publications, including The Village Voice, Video Games magazine, K-Power, and Heavy Metal. In 1986, Holmstrom contributed a comic-based chronology of punk rock for Spin magazine's special punk issue. In 1987, Holmstrom began to work for High Times magazine as Managing Editor, was soon promoted to Executive Editor, and eventually promoted to Publisher and President. Boy Scout talked to Holmstrom about CBGB, Cheeseburgers, and Charles Bukowski.
