"Cleveland has always played a sleepy, yet vital role in churning out heroes of modern music: Alan Freed, The Pretenders, the Dead Boys, Devo, Trent Reznor and many more. At the edge of this bright tapestry lies a rough thread: Peter Laughner.

Often hailed as a punk's punk of the 1970s, Laughner walked the path of many of the forefathers of hard rock before he died at the age of 24."

It's a year-old interview, but to make it timely there's some discussion of #TomVerlaine and #Television in there.
