Description
142 page paperback book containing two essays by Peter Stampfel on Steve Weber and The Holy Modal Rounders, and every column Pater Stampfel (Holy Modal Rounders, The Fugs, Peter Stampfel + Jeffrey Lewis) wrote for the Boston Broadside.
Peter's writing in Broadside, describing what was going on in music from 1964 to 1967 is/was ahead of its time. His take on the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Jeff Beck, the Grateful Dead was way ahead of what music critics were saying at the time, and is as on target now as it was then. His recollections of Steve Weber are slapstick funny and disastrously poignant. Those writings are a mesmerizing, hold-nothing-back memoir.
