Punk Stories from the 80's

Punks; growing up in the 80's I was intimidated by them. They were mysterious, edgy, outstandingly creative when it came to style. Their spiky hair and the spikes on the jackets were almost like a shield against us and the reactions of people whom simply didn't understand them.

Hello Marianne, my name is Julian and I live in London, England. I would very much appreciate it if you would send me a quick reply to my email;
(julesml.geo@yahoo.com) as I would be very interested in further impressions/recollections of how you views the punk/alternative scene in Norway during 1980-83'. The photos are very evocative, and I have long been interested in the alternative/punk culture that existed in Norway during the late 70's & early 80's, and would be keen on documenting that scene in print form. Any help or direct experience of this scene, or your firsthand impressions of it would be very interesting and much appreciated. I hope to hear from you, if you manage to get this message that is! With thanks in advance & regards, Julian.
