Title: Telling the Truth
Product review: There are only two books that truly capture the reality, theinsanity, of making it on the fringes: Azzerad's Our Band Could beYour Life for music and Ray Carney's Cassavetes on Cassavetes forfilm. The punk scene, in film and music, is brilliantly, scarilydepicted in both--the fate of garage artists who too much of theworld takes for garbage artists. The doom and the horror. Theexcitement and the craziness. Long live indie art, one thing youcan't buy or sell, even in Amerika. Long live Harmony Korine and hisdad John Cassavetes. Long live Azerrad and Carney as chroniclers ofthe real, the beyond the hype, the stuff they wouldn't dare put on TV.
