Thomas Wictor... bringing himself and his anxieties into the picture--the fan faces the madman--makes for a dramatic and entertaining read.      --The Wire      Illuminating (and scary) stuff.      --The Big Takeover      Wictor is more than a competent interviewer; he's a superb conversationalist, able to draw out his subject and get them to non-stop talk.      --15 Minutes      Talk about bass management! [I]t's a miracle that Thomas Wictor was able to chat with Kiss's Gene Simmons, New Order's Peter Hook, Devo's Jerry Casale, and Frank Zappa cohort Scott Thunes without getting a little base himself.      --Sound & Vision      Wictor earns his money, that's for sure. If you think being a music journalist is a piece of cake, kick back in your safe and cozy Laz-y-Boy and chew on this for a while.      --Cosmic Debris      The pages of this book almost literally turn themselves, and it's nothing like any other set of interviews you've ever read. It's as much about the process of interviewing as it is about the results. I highly recommend this book.      --Old Punks Webzine      After reading the book for this review, I read it again just for fun. I highly recommend this book. I've got two words for you, Thomas Wictor: More, please.      --Talkbass.com      Controversial for sure, but a right gripping read.      -- The Idiot Bastard Son of T'Mershi Duween      A wonderful, chilling, hilarious book! I'm so glad I have one.      --Mike Keneally, former Frank Zappa guitarist home | the book | shopping | revenge | sex | war | rock | murder journalism | god | nick | road | prediction things I felt like writing | links | contact
