Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First MTV Books/Pocket Books trade paperback printing June 2004. 420pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "Following in the footsteps of the late great Lester Bangs--the most revered and irreverent of rock 'n' roll critics--twenty-four celebrated writers have penned stories inspired by great songs. Just as Bangs cast new light on a Rod Stewart classic with his story 'Maggie May,' about a wholly unexpected connection between an impressionable young man and an aging, alcoholic hooker, the diverse, electrifying stories here use songs as a springboard for a form dubbed the lit riff. [] Alongside Bangs's classic work, you'll find stories by J.T. LeRoy, who puts a recovering teenage drug abuser in a dentist's chair with nothing but the Foo Fighters's 'Everlong'--blaring through the P.A.--to fight the pain; Jonathan Lethem, whose narrator looks back on his lost innocence just as an extramarital affair careens to an end--this to the tune 'Speeding Motorcycle' as recorded by Yo La Tengo; and Jennifer Belle, who envisions a prequel to Paul Simon's 'Graceland'--one that takes place at a children's birthday party replete with a real live kangaroo. [] With original contributions from Tom Perrotta, Nelson George, Amanda Davis, Lisa Tucker, Aimee Bender, Darin Strauss, and many more--riffing on everyone from Tom Waits and Bruce Springsteen to the White Stripes, Cat Power, and Bob Marley--this is both an astounding collection of short stories and an extraordinary experiment in words and music." [publisher copy] Bright & tight paperback w/cover-wrappers in black & yellow over a record bin, square corners & binding w/no creases in spine; quite presentable.
