McNeil later edited the mass-circulation music magazines &#039;&#039;[[w:Spin (magazine)|Spin]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[w:Nerve (magazine)|Nerve]]&#039;&#039; and is co-author, with poet [[w:Gillian McCain|Gillian McCain]], of &#039;&#039;Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk&#039;&#039; (1996). McNeil’s approach toward documenting disruptive social and artistic movements through interviews continued with &#039;&#039;The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry&#039;&#039; (2006), a collaboration with Jennifer Osborne and Peter Pavia. According to a review in &#039;&#039;Publisher’s Weekly&#039;&#039;, “This compulsively readable book perfectly captures the pop culture zeitgeist. It doesn’t hurt that the history of American pornography is inextricably intertwined with all the subjects that captivate us: sex, drugs, beauty, fame, money, the Mafia, law enforcement and violence.” McNeil has appeared on many TV documentaries, from the History Channel to VH1, and has produced and hosted a three-hour TV special on Court TV over three nights on the porn industry, the highest-rated original programming in that network’s history. McNeil currently documents “music, art, culture, fashion, poetry and movies from the 60s through today” on his website [https://pleasekillme.com/ Please Kill Me].<br /> <br /> ===[[:Category:Written by Legs McNeil|Contributions]]===<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:McNeil, Legs}}<br /> [[Category:Contributors]]</div> Grlucas
