HAPPY BIRTHDAY LESTER

Lester Bangs (1948-1982) was a true defender of the faith, if not otherwise completely full of shit and himself, and that's what made him the perfect rock critic. He believed that rock was something more than music, and that belief translated to both consumer and artist. We must equally praise and blame him for it.

"The first mistake of art is to assume that it's serious" -- Lester Bangs
