Book recommendations

I love the Lester Bangs collection as well. I started reading his work as a kid in Creem Magazine. I also enjoyed this biography of Bangs by Jim DeRogatis (who is one of the co-hosts on the radio program/podcast, “Sound Ideas”.

I saw this play at the Public Theater in 2017 or 2018. The two guys sitting next to me were chatting, and I recognized the unique voice of the guy next to me. I said are you Jim DeRogatis? And he said yes. We had a nice conversation. Nice guy and very knowledgeable. I loved the play. And a bonus to be sitting next to a guy that published a bio on Lester Bangs.
