A story about Lester Bangs
Some years ago I had the not-so-brilliant idea of translating Lester Bangs’s Psychotic Reactions And Carburetor Dung into Italian (eventually someone better than me did it). I was so mesmerized by his prose that I started reading all I could find about him. His presence became so familiar that on a couple of occasions I even found myself talking to him (well, fantasizing, at least) :)
Sure, I’m not exactly in a hurry about meeting him, but if there’s a paradise/hell for rockers I’m sure that we will have lots of meaningful conversation up/down there.
