/Music/Dance
The tumultuous 1970s, when talking about music was a form of expression and action. This is the first book in Japan to chronicle the life of Lester Bangs, the legendary rock critic who lived and died in the midst of it all. How one man, with the most foul mouth imaginable, created "rock and roll as literature / literature as rock and roll"!
"Lester Bangs: The Legend of a Rock Critic, His Words and Life (Original Title: LET IT BLURT)" meticulously traces the life of this legendary man, from his repressed childhood to his rise as a rock critic and his sudden death. The translation reveals his unique expressions, said to be untranslatable, his unparalleled passion for music, and his aggressive yet touching, hopelessly poignant charm.
Even after more than 40 years since his death, Lester Bangs remains in people's memories as a wounded hero who truly confronted music. Those who encounter his words will find that something within them is completely changed, as if they have touched real music, real literature, and real youth."
