Thurston Moore on Glen Branca, Rudolph Grey, and Wharton Tiers
Chuck Klosterman on Prince
Sigrid Nunez on Woodstock

Charles R. Cross on Nirvana
Marc Nesbitt on The Beastie Boys And many more...No matter where your musical taste falls, these often funny, occasionally sad, always thought-provoking essays-all written especially for The Show I’ll Never Forget - are sure to connect with anyone who loves, or has ever loved, live music.

A lot of geniuses sharing their golden memories on Rock Concerts. Sweet!

I used to buy Spin magazine just because i enjoyed Chuck Klosterman´s writing, so that´s another reason to buy it

.

Ive not heard of any of the writers (except Mr Moore) but have heard of all but a couple of the subjects, so it sounds pretty interesting. Though i dont believe id be able to get my hands on it very easily
