OverviewEsta desternillante antología de semblanzas, ensayos, autopsias y reseñas sirve para rescatar el trabajo del crítico de rock más famoso de los Estados Unidos: Lester Bangs. Textos escogidos por el también periodista musical estadounidense Greil Marcus, de las diferentes publicaciones para las que escribió Bangs (Rolling Stones, Village Voice y Creem). Prosas reunidas en las que Marcus ""trata de recomponer la imagen de un hombre que crea su propia visión del mundo, llevándola a la praxis, enfrentándose a sus consecuencias y tratando de sobrevivirse a sí mismo"". Lester Bangs creía apasionadamente en la fuerza redentora y transformadora de la música rock, reivindicándola como la más vital e innovadora de las artes populares, sin dejar por ello de denunciar sus más absurdos excesos, ni de vilipendiar tampoco a sus ídolos: John Lennon, Lou Reed, John Coltrane, Iggy Pop, The Clash, David Bowie, Kraftwerk... Bangs forjó en poco tiempo un estilo compulsivamente excéntrico, personal e inconfundiblemente salvaje que dejaría una impronta indeleble en la historiografía roquera. This hilarious anthology of portraits, essays, and reviews serves to rescue the work of America's most famous rock critic: Lester Bangs. Texts chosen by the American music journalist Greil Marcus.

Bangs forged in a short time a compulsively eccentric, personal and unmistakably wild style that would leave an indelible mark on rock historiography.
