Gene:
I do, every now and again.
DeRogatis' other books, "Milk It," about 90s alt.rock radio, and "Let It
Blurt," his Lester Bangs bio, is also a terrific read. I've had occasion to
interview him a few times over the years, and find him incredibly funny and
opinionated -- even if I don't always agree.
