Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Traces the life of visionary rock critic Lester Bangs from his childhood in Southern California to his untimely death at the age of thirty-three, describing his place in the turbulent rock music culture of the 1970s.
Review:
"[DeRogatis] achieves the assured, rhythmic voice of a composite confident, someone who saw the best and worst of Ole Les."
Publishers Weekly, 2/7/2000
Review:"[Bangs] is arguably the only rock critic, dead or alive, whose life and achievements warrant a book-length examination. LET IT BLURT by Chicago journalist Jim DeRogatis, is a warts-and-all look at this woefully self-destructive genius."
Tom Sinclair, Entertainment Weekly, 4/21/2000

Let it Blurt: The Life and Times of Lester Bangs, America's Greatest Rock Critic (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780767905091) Derogatis, Jim Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group Inc, United States, 2000. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 235 x 159 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Let It Blurt is the raucous and righteous biography of Lester Bangs (1949-82)--the gonzo journalist, gutter poet, and romantic visionary of rock criticism. No writer on rock 'n' roll ever lived harder or wrote better--more passionately, more compellingly, more penetratingly. 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 Beefheart, The Clash, Debbie Harry, and other luminaries. Let It Blurt is a scrupulously researched account of Lester Bangs's fascinating (if often tawdry and unappetizing) life story, as well as a window on rock criticism and rock culture in their most turbulent and creative years. It includes a never-before-published piece by Bangs, the hilarious "How to Be a Rock Critic," in which he reveals the secrets of his dubious, freeloading trade.
