Until his death aged thirty-three in 1982, Lester Bangs wrote
wired, rock 'n' roll pieces on Iggy Pop, The Clash, John Lennon,
Kraftwerk, Lou Reed. As a rock critic, he had an eagle-eye for
distinguishing the pre-packaged imitation from the real thing;
written in a conversational, wisecracking, erotically charged
style, his hallucinatory hagiographies and excoriating take-downs
reveal an iconoclast unafraid to tell it like it is. To his
journalism he brought the talent of a great a renegade Beat poet,
and his essays, reviews and scattered notes convey the electric
thrill of a music junky indulging the habit of a lifetime. As Greil
Marcus writes in his introduction, 'What this book demands from a
reader is a willingness to accept that the best writer in America
could write almost nothing but record reviews.'
