A music-obsessed retrospective, beginning with his childhood
epiphany of rock 'n' roll in the early 1960s into an infatuation
with the subversive world of 1970s punk and no wave blasting forth
from New York City - where he eventually runs off to join a band in
1978. By 1981 Moore would form the legendary and notorious
experimental rock group Sonic Youth, who proceeded to record and
tour relentlessly for almost 30 years, always progressing, always
exploring. Along the way we meet a constellation of artists and
musicians who colluded and collided with Sonic Youth including
Velvet Underground, Stooges, Patti Smith, Television, Sex Pistols,
Clash, Nirvana, Hole, Beastie Boys, Neil Young and a cavalcade of
other musical visionaries, as well as figures from the art world -
Jean Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Gerhard Richter. Simply put,
Thurston Moore and Sonic Youth changed the sound of modern
alternative rock music and opened the minds of a generation of
artists to new possibilities within the form. This is essential
reading.
