Who is Legs McNeil from Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk and what is their importance?

Legs McNeil is a journalist, writer, author, and participant in "Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk." He is one of three founders of the countercultural "Punk" magazine, which gives the punk music scene its name. Throughout the course of the 1970s, as punk music becomes the embodiment of everything it once stood against - namely rich elitists who can get away with anything they want, as well as punk being a mass movement - Legs grows disillusioned and disenchanted with punk and fades away from the scene.
