Tony Palmer's All You Need Is Love (Lester Bangs)
Jul 28, 2010, 11:28
Anyone been watching this hoary old 70s series on Sky Arts?

The episode with Lester Bangs loudly proclaiming the death of rock n roll and the vacuity of the 70s was fabulous and some great up close video footage of Kiss, Alice, Labelle, Roxy, Gary Glitter et al. Beautiful mind Mr Bangs and the editing and use of music overlays, segues and juxtapositions is fantastic. More David Lynch then South Bank Show. Fascinating to see classic rock critiqued from within the belly of the beast.

Couple of clips ...

It is repeated again today I believe.
