Freaks Out! : Tarados, raros e inadaptados: Ascensión y caída del rock and roll como Dios manda

This is a book about freaks, for freaks, and concocted by a consummate freak. In his latest madcap venture, Luke Haines charts a secret, underground history of rock music through the lens of its most eminent oddballs. With unhinged, razor-sharp humor and prodigious insight, the former frontman of The Auteurs and Black Box Recorder—among many other incarnations—has penned a manifesto worthy of framing and, quite likely, one of the most entertaining volumes in music literature. Crawling across these pages are eccentrics of the caliber of Gene Vincent, The Shadows, the Incredible String Band, Jim Morrison, T. Rex, Gary Glitter, Lou Reed, Morrissey, The Fall, The Go-Betweens, the Manson girls, and a motley crew of spandex-clad wrestling villains, alongside a host of other ghastly creatures. *Freaks Out!* is a marvelous celebration of otherness and anomaly—a book that is, without a doubt, not for "normal" people.
