CULT ROCKERS

"Cult Rockers" are those musicians whose artistic vision and bizarre idiosyncrasies inspire loyalty among distinct groups of fans. This book provides 150 profiles, many of them based on interviews with the artists themselves, of those who have carved out their own special niches in the rock pantheon. They include a range of artists - the outrageous, the avant-garde, the poetic and the mythologized - such as The Dead Kennedys, Brian Eno, The Residents, Lou Reed, The Sex Pistols, Joy Division, Todd Rundgren and The Grateful Dead.
