Bink - My Life In the Ghost of Planets

There once was a boy who simply had to make it as a rock star. He learned to play guitar — really play the mother — struggling with the uncooperative beast while everyone else basked in the summer's sun and threw various-sized balls at each other.

This boy, Brooklyn Heights' Binky Philips, never relented. At the age of 16, he was ready to form a band. By the end of 1972, as the guitarist/songwriter for The Planets, Bink was sharing stages with The New York Dolls, KISS, The Ramones, Television, Blondie, and more. He was embedded in the heart of a pure organic moment of creativity and paradigm change — a regular performer at the legendary CBGB and Max's Kansas City.

In My Life In the Ghost of Planets, Binky Philips recounts those days of raucous fun and furious heartbreak — a raw, honest look at what it meant to live and breathe rock 'n' roll in 1970s New York.
