“Shut Up You Animals!!! The Pope Is Dead – A Remembrance Of Dirk Dirksen: The History of the Mabuhay Gardens” – Book
By Dirk Dirksen, edited by Ron Turner and James Stark
In his own words, the late, great, music promotor, Dirk Dirksen (aka “The Pope Of Punk”) tells the story of promoting thousands of punk gigs, since year zero, at San Francisco’s legendary venue, Mabuhay Gardens. Anyone from the VHS generation who bunked off school to watch a dubbed copy of the Dead Kennedy’s ‘MTV Get Off The Air’ video and who wondered who the hell the middle aged dude on stage at the end of the gig with a moustache and glasses was – well, that was Dirk Dirksen.
