Rock culture exploration with philosophical musings.
If you find yourself drawn to the crossroads of music, mortality, and the open road, Klosterman's journey will resonate with you. It's not just a pilgrimage to the shrines of rock 'n' roll's departed; it's an introspective dive into what makes us tick, clad in the familiar, worn jacket of pop culture. Klosterman's witty and candid narrative might just spark your own philosophical road trip, even if it's only in the mind.
Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
