SynopsisThe comic strips of Colin B. Morton and Chuck Death deliver an irreverent, heartfelt, and devastatingly funny history of rock and roll. Like Monty Python at its best, their version is surreal and ridiculous - yet somehow everything in it rings true. According to Morton and Death, the bass player in Led Zeppelin was Jean-Paul Sartre. And despite having been able to think up brilliant titles for their first three albums, Led Zeppelin were stuck for what to call the fourth one - so they put a load of prunes on the front. In strip after strip, Morton & Death pinpoint the absurdities and oddities of rock history. In the process, they often come closer to its truth than conventional accounts do, as well as being far more entertaining. As for the drawings, their caricatures of rock stars from Mick Jagger to Frank Zappa, Johnny Rotten to Courtney Love, are in themselves worth the price of admission., Morton and Death's comic strips, serialized over several years in LA Weekly, comprise an irreverent, heartfelt, and devastatingly funny history of rock and roll. As they pinpoint the absurdities and oddities of rock history, the authors come closer to its truth than most conventional accounts--and they're much more entertaining., In strip after strip, as originally featured in New Musical Express, Morton and Death pinpoint the absurdities and oddities of rock history. In the process, they often come closer to the truth than conventional accounts do, as well as being much more entertaining. Their caricatures of rock stars from Jagger to Zappa, Johnny Rotten to Courtney Love, are in themselves worth the price of admission. Includes an introduction by Greil Marcus.
