** spoiler alert **
One of my absolute favorite books by one of my absolte favorite writers.

I picked this up in a used bookstore during Lexington's 4th of July parade (I hate parades) and had to read it 500 times before I finally put it down.

I love this book....Bangs was sarcastic, open-hearted, brilliantly literate, and obsessed with music.

He wrote some of the greatest descriptions of what its like to be a music addict I've ever read...Van Morrison, The Clash, Lou Reed...If you like any of these bands you owe it to yourself to read him. You will be so much the richer for it. I promise!

My hero!
