377 Seiten, Softcover/Paperback, gut For the first time in paperback, MTV news anchor Kurt Loder's hilarious, irreverent and thought-provoking look at rock and roll in the eighties. From the book: Penn Jillette on Iggy Pop: "I was sitting there, and there was Iggy up on stage. He leaned down, grabbed me by the collar, pulled me up hard and said, 'You eat dog food.` To which I responded, 'Yes, I do, Mr. Pop.'" Keith Richards: "I thought rock was an unassailable outlet for some pure and natural expressions of rebellion. It was one channel you could take without havin' to kiss ass, you know? And right now it just seems like they're on a big daisy chain, each kissin' each other's asses." An actress on Prince: "He means well and he's genuinely talented, but he's got a lot of problems. He's really hung up on God, for one thing. I think he thinks he's related to God." Bob Dylan: "l'm comfortable wherever people don't remind me of who I am. Anytime somebody reminds me of who I am, that kills it for me." Frank Zappa: "To me, a Cigarette is food. I live my life eating these things and drinking this black water in this cup over here. Now this may be a baffling concept to people in San Francisco who believe they're gonna live forever if they stamp out tobacco smoke, but there it is." > Bat Chain Puller is a brilliant and funny look at fame, decadence, the myths and roots of rock and rollwhat's been lost and who's survived.
