Punk Magazine staff: photograher Roberta Bayley, journalist Mary Harron & co-founding editor John Holstrom as captured outside CBGB by Godlis in 1977.

Mary Harron, a filmmaker in later years best known as the director of American Psycho, had actually lived in England and had attended Oxford University before moving to NYC and becoming part of its '70s punk scene. In 1976 she was sent to London to interview the Sex Pistols for Legs McNeil's legendary Punk Magazine:

"You could really feel the world moving and shaking that autumn of 1976 in London. I felt that what we had done as a joke in New York had been taken for real in England by a younger and more violent audience. And that somehow in the translation, it had changed, it had sparked something different. What to me had been a much more adult and intellectual bohemian rock culture in New York, had become this crazy teenage thing in England. I remember going to see the Damned play that summer, who I thought were really terrible. I was wearing my Punk magazine T-shirt and I got mobbed. I mean I can't tell you the reception I got. Everyone was so excited that I was wearing this T-shirt that said "Punk". I was just speechless. There I was backstage, and there were hundreds of little kids, like nightmares, you know, like little ghouls with bright red dyed hair with white faces. They were alll wearing chains and swastikas and things stuck in their head, and I was like, 'Oh my god, what have we done? What have we created?' I felt like we had been doing this thing--and now that we had created something else that we never intended, or expected. I think English punk was much more volatile and edgy and more dangerous." Mary Harron from "Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk"
