nik cohn

here's a candygram from the gods: a vid of nik cohn, _the_ idol of my misspent yoof (where writers are concerned), doing readings from his classic awopbopaloobop alopbamboom (for my money, the best book about rock ever written, carducci notwithstanding) accompanied by two french guys and being interviewed en anglais by a third one. do yourself a favor, kid: buy it and read it. (this is the edition to seek out, not the deballed and defanged revised edition.) if you know me, ask me nicely and i'll lend you my copy.
