'I Feel Famous' showcases Angela Jaeger's teenage diaries from the punk scene, written between 1977 and 1981. These entries reveal her raw emotions and experiences as a young girl navigating the music culture of New York. Jaeger's reflections capture her fervent passion for bands like Sex Pistols and Clash, while questioning societal norms and searching for her identity. Her vivid accounts describe the electrifying atmosphere of legendary venues such as CBGB's, illustrating how pivotal this time was in shaping her personal and artistic sensibilities.
By 27 June, she's a dedicated anglophile, a Sex Pistols and Clash obsessive, searching for an identity and asking the big questions: Why should we be expected to live like everyone else does?
The music was so different. The pace, the energy, the style but also the attitude: society sucks! Growing up in New York's East Village with older, musically passionate siblings, for her it was right place, right time, right age.
