About This Book

"Let It Blurt is the biography of Lester Bangs (1949-82) - the gonzo journalist, gutter poet, and romantic visionary of rock criticism. He lived the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, guzzling booze and Romilar like water, matching its energy in prose that erupted from the pages of Rolling Stone, Creem, and The Village Voice. Bangs agitated in the seventies for sounds that were harsher, louder, more electric, and more alive, in the course of which he charted and defined the aesthetics of heavy metal and punk.

He was treated as a peer by such brash visionaries as Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Richard Hell, Captain Beef-heart, The Clash, Debbie Harry, and other luminaries."--BOOK JACKET.
