Apathy for the Devil
Nick Kent NME - Book - by Nick Kent
(2010)
Pitched somewhere between Almost Famous and Withnail & I, "Apathy
for the Devil" is a unique document of this most fascinating and
troubling of decades - a story of inspiration, success and serious burn
out. As a 20-something college dropout Nick Kent's first five interviews
as a young writer were with the MC5, Captain Beefheart, The Grateful
Dead, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed. Along with Charles Shaar Murray and Ian
MacDonald he would go on to define and establish the NME as the home of
serious music writing.
And as apprentice to Lester Bangs,
boyfriend of Chrissie Hynde, confidant of Iggy Pop, trusted scribe for
Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones, and early member of the Sex
Pistols, he was witness to both the beautiful and the damned of this
turbulent decade.
