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
