From: "Robert A. Farace, Jr." <rfarace@ To: <jimdero@ Sent: Monday, April 03, PM Subject: the new bookHi, Just thought I'd säga that I've been looking forward to reading the book on Lester Bangs as soon as inom found out about it. For the longest time I considered Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung to be the only book on rock worth reading, and although I've modified my opinion a little in the ensuing years, it's still the best. I had a habit for a while of picking up used copies whenever inom saw them so inom could give them to cool people that would appreciate it.
Would have been neat if you could have included a flexi disk of "Let it Blurt" with the book; I have it on an unlabelled tape somewhere, among many other unlabelled tapes, and I'd love to hear it again.
Thanks also for pointing out what should have been obvious to me, that Bangs's writing was firmly in the Beat tradition. I've long held that his writing was just as rock and roll as what he was writ
