Strider Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Have you read them? I would say that he hasn't...either that, or he has no sense of humour, or perspective, about pop culture. Oh well, too bad...it's his loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, too bad...it's his loss. I haven't read them either but I've read enough of Klosterman's work to know that he has his tongue planted firmly in cheek. For the more avid fanboys with no sense of humor, I could see where they might take offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Still crap. How can you say a book is crap if you've never read it? I thought I'd hate Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon, but once I sat down and read the thing, I found I really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybrown1976 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 It was a good read. I enjoyed the phone dialogue and the perceived response by Percy on the previous paragraph about his feelings on his band. If that's an example of sucking, well, hot damn.

danelectro Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Holy cow, some folks here need to comprehend what they read before commenting. The defense of the band concerning a piece that is obviously written to be complimentary is baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense of the band concerning a piece that is obviously written to be complimentary is baffling. You're absolutely correct, danelectro. People either cannot comprehend what they're reading, either due to young age or lack of education, or they are such Fanboys that they are missing the point that Klosterman is PRAISING Led Zeppelin.
