Title: Funny Stuff From Another Age
Review: I remember reading Lester's stuff as a teen back in the 70s. In those days it didn't get much better than Creem magazine when it came to rock and roll reviews. Much of his wit was wasted on me of course until I recently bought this book.Most of the bands he writes about aren't around anymore but that makes little difference. Bangs has as much love for language as he does for rock and Roll and it shows in his writing.More than once I burst out in howling laughter amazed at the guys witty way with words. Lester could really write.If nothing else Psycotic Reactions is a fine primer for those interested in Rock back when it really was a vital force in peoples lives. Bangs writes with a passion for the music one rarely comes across these days. Great stuff!
