Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Octavo, softcover, VG in white wraps, unmarked. 407 pp.Singularly entertaining, this book is an absolute must for anyone interested in the history of rock. Before his untimely death in 1982, Lester Bangs was inarguably the most influential critic of rock and roll. Writing in hyper-intelligent Benzedrine prose, he eschewed all conventional thinking as he discussed everything from Black Sabbath being the first truly Catholic band to Anne Murray?s smoldering sexuality.

When he returns to Regensburg he is confronted with the thrilling news that someone from a foreign embassy has actually checked his masterwork, Portuguese Irregular Verbs, out of the Institute s Library.
