Linna is part of the collective of musicians which emerged from the Cleveland, Ohio punk rock scene including the Dead Boys and Pere Ubu.

When the re-formed Rocket from the Tombs performed in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 2003, singer David Thomas dedicated the band's signature song "Amphetamine" to her.

The album features Linna singing over distinctly Phil Spector- and Jack Nitzsche-inspired arrangements of a selection of mostly obscure cover songs from the 1960s.

Her lengthy liner notes for Norton and other labels display an unusual writing style of wild word play and imaginative humor.

Rocco contributed to Ebony Song Parade and freelanced for Fort Worth's Sepia magazine, and the book collects many of his previously unpublished 1950s and 1960s images, including shots of Ruth Brown, Esquerita, Roy Orbison, and The Treniers.

Subsequent books include This Planet Is Doomed (2011), a collection of Sun Ra's poetry; Pulling a Train and Getting in the Wind (2012), previously uncollected short stories by Harlan Ellison; Lord of Garbage by Kim Fowley; Benzedrine Highway by Charles Plymell; and Gone Man Squared by Royston Ellis.
