But everything you need to know is in Marsh's book, including the lyrics-the real ones and the ones people thought they heard. If there is a better measure of your pop-cultural IQ, I don't know where to find it. -USA TodaySince his days as the original editor of Creem, Dave Marsh has been revered as one of rock's greatest critics.
