Good Reads

    Hola. One thing I love almost as much as music is books about great music and musicians.  This morning I was reading a couple of reviews scribbled in the back of Lester Bangs' book "PSYCHOTIC REACTIONS AND CARBURETOR DUNG" on Peter Guralnick's beautiful book "LOST HIGHWAY".  They don't get much better, so I want to give a big shout out with high enthusiasm and suggest you snag a copy. While you're at it, also grab another of my favorites, "COUNTRY MUSIC - THE BIGGEST MUSIC IN AMERICA" by Nick Tosches. Either of these will free your inner lumpenproletarian child and clue you to the real 190 proof pysychotronic caterwaullery always lurking under the corner of the lime green shag carpet of your mental rumpus room. Pump up the volume! SvH  (Also check out the videos, "SLEEPY LABEEF RIDES AGAIN" and "GOOD ROCKIN' TONIGHT', rip-snorters about Sam Phillips and the birth of rock n roll, one of which has some neat cameo appearances and commentary by said Peter Guralnick. Don't whine that I didn't tell you.)
