I started out reading the first Rolling Stone Record Guide to see what these "expert reviewers" thought were albums I should buy--and I did--I have a basement full of R.S. recommended albums,of which,Lester Bangs was a prominent reviewer .What I remember about him--is in the clip--he hated the Doors--while I couldn't get enough.I've read other people's opinions of him and well,"egomaniac" understates the collective opinion.
Nothing interesting,but it's a memory. P.s.One of these days I'm going to send you a version of me singing the song I did about Neil Young and covid--"A Common Cold"--with my impersonation of Young. Maybe the "The Beat Goes On" too.I do a few impressions.Trying to get a good take on the Young song.Ten years ago I could still do his falsetto voice consistently,now,not so much,lol.But it's a challenge--and fun trying.
I am a dissident journalist, whose work has been published in dozens of daily newspapers, magazines, and journals in English, German, and Swedish, under my own name and many pseudonyms. While living in internal exile in New York, where I am whitelisted, I maintain NSU/The Wyatt Earp Journalism Bureau and some eight other blogs (some are distinctive but occasional venues, while others are mirrors), and also write for stout-hearted men such as Peter Brimelow and Jared Taylor.
