25 years ago, Peter Ivers was bludgeoned to death in his L.A. loft; the crime remains
unsolved. Ivers was the charismatic, visionary host of an underground cable show called
New Wave Theatre which transformed music and comedy forever by bringing together East
Coast comedians and West Coast punk rockers. Josh Frank interviews dozens from Ivers'
circle, including Chevy Chase and David Lynch, in a riveting investigation of an artist, the
scene he created, and his brutal murder. As a result of Frank's research, the L.A.P.D.'s Cold
Case Squad has reopened the murder investigation.

If this little interview piques your interest, FIND THIS BOOK. A great read. My favorite part is about 4 pages long. A surreal meeting at a Bob's Big Boy that Ivers orchestrated between David Lynch and DEVO. And this is just the tip of the wonderfully weird cast of characters that surrounded this pop culture luminary.
