The Dark Stuff: Selected Writings On Rock Music 1972-1993

'I read this nasty book with an unusual degree of interest... It needs to be mentioned that Mr Kent has a side to his history as sordid and generally unsavoury and sometimes downright hilarious as anyone described in this book.' From the foreword by Iggy Pop In The Dark Stuff, Nick Kent profiles many of the most gifted and self-destructive talents in rock history. From Brian Wilson to Syd Barrett, the Rolling Stones to Neil Young, Iggy Pop to Lou Reed, he offers intimate portraits that are unimaginable in the world of today's market-driven music business. Including previously unpublished material on Johnny Cash, Sly Stone and Phil Spector, among others, this edition will introduce a new generation to the art of one of the most brilliant and notorious journalists of his field.
