Caroline Coon, artist and political activist, was at Central St. Martin's School of Art and Design in the '60s when she founded the anti-prohibition drug information and civil rights organisation Release. She published The Release Report: Drug Offenders and the Law in 1969, and 1988: The Punk Rock Explosion in 1977. When Coon went to the Sex Pistols' second gig in 1976, she found the answer to this question: With the '60s psychedelic revolution dead and buried and hippies derided as "boring old farts", what will youth do now? Johnny Rotten personified the nihilistic fury of a generation untouched by peace and love. At first, Coon's editor at Melody Maker didn't want to know. Determined anyway to write the story of the emerging "hate and war" counterculture, and thrilled by the music, Coon's seminal punk piece in MM on July 28, 1976, was the first to tackle the subject of the new "punk rock". Coon currently lives and works in London.
