Danny Fields writes and contributes to music books from the viewpoint of a manager, publicist, journalist and photographer who worked close to the New York rock underground. My Ramones gathers his photographs of the original Ramones from the years when he managed them, with commentary on touring, backstage life and the band's early rise. Linda McCartney: A Portrait draws on his friendship with her before and after her marriage to Paul McCartney, while other collaborative work reflects his proximity to the Stooges, MC5 and 1960s counterculture.
