> Anyone out there know who Lester Bangs was??

The Rod Stewart book was indeed published (co-authored with some
hack).  Also available is Bang's bio of Blondie, mostly a picture
book, but enough text to get by.  I've heard various rumors of
'Sodom and Gomorah' (co-authored w/ Michael Ochs (?)) but it still
hasn't surfaced.

I'd give my right arm for a collection of Bangs writings. My
memories of the Creem writings still say he was the best Kritic
of all time (to damn w/ faint praise).  If you find out anything
I'd appreciate it if you'all'ld let me know.

Anyone out there know who Richard Meltzer is??
