This is a sad and somewhat strange story. This one is just plain sad.

UAA's Loussac library has been culling the stacks lately and selling unwanted books for 50 cents. Mostly it's a bunch of garbage but in the last 2 weeks I've picked up a '55 edition of this Mencken book and a collection called "The Age of Rock: Sounds of the American Cultural Revolution." Among the expected pieces on the Stones, the Beatles, Dylan and (gag) Morrison, there is a Robert Christgau piece on poetaster rock stars, a good Zappa interview with Frank Kofsky, photos I've never seen of the Fugs, Incredible String Band, Rob Tyner, and two great Doon Arbus pieces: "James Brown Is Out Of Sight" and "In Person: The Mothers Of Invention"--the latter of which had me going back to this BBC video of "King Kong" to see how spot on Arbus' descriptions of some of these cats really are.
