It’s always fun to see legendary punks mentioned in mainstream mags, but I don’t think that’s the case with this juicy tidbit in today’s Page Six. Richard Johnson reports that legendary punk manager Danny Fields is pissed off that Out Magazine painted him as a creep pedophile in a recent article about the 1970s East Village punk rock scene. Fields, who managed punk gods The Stooges, The Ramones, and The MC5, was quoted as babbling:

“The ’70s was sure a lot of fun, but I was sure a lot of young. Boy, if you didn’t get laid, then it was your own fault. I don’t remember ever being inhibited by saying ‘I’m the manager of the band. If you want to meet them, come to my hotel room and sleep with me, and I’ll introduce you to them in the morning.’ “

Fields told Page Six:

“I never said that. The implication is while my bands were playing, I was trawling the audience for kids . . . like I used the performances as an excuse to cruise and pick up underage teens. The quotes are also so ungrammatical. I would never even talk like that. I have advanced degrees in English literature . . . They gay-bashed me.”
