“Book Descriptions: Wayne County was the weirdest, fiercest vision ever to appear on a rock & roll stage. As early as 1972, this dragged-up Lenny Bruce was astonishing New York's blase rock scene with her filthy lyrics and demented stage antics. Andy Warhol and David Bowie courted her, and for the emergent punk generation she was an inspiration. When it came to outrage and attitude, nobody could beat Wayne County. But it was more than just an act. Beyond the outsize wigs, the on-stage dildos and toilets, Wayne was turning into Jayne: a transsexual whose longing to be a woman had begun in childhood. As her fame spread through Europe, the pressures increased. Finally, she turned her back on rock & roll, changed her name and disappeared into the Berlin underworld. Man Enough to be a Woman is a hilarious, shameless journey from a rural childhood in deepest Georgia through the hippy 60s, Stonewall, Woodstock, punk, gender-bending and resurgence in the drag-dominated 90s.”
