One of "Rolling Stone"'s 20 Best Music Books of 2013
When memoirist and head writer for "The A.V. Club" Nathan Rabin
first set out to write about obsessed music fans, he had no idea
the journey would take him to the deepest recesses of both the pop
culture universe and his own mind. For two very curious years,
Rabin, who Mindy Kaling called "smart and funny" in "The New
Yorker," hit the road with two of music's most well-established
fanbases: Phish's hippie fans and Insane Clown Posse's notorious
"Juggalos." Musically or style-wise, these two groups could not be
more different from each other, and Rabin, admittedly, was a cynic
about both bands. But once he gets deep below the surface, past the
caricatures and into the essence of their collective cultures, he
discovers that both groups have tapped into the human need for
community. Rabin also grapples with his own mental well-being--he
discovers that he is bipolar--and his journey is both a prism for
cultural analysis and a deeply personal exploration, equal parts
humor and heart.
