Big Beat Steve Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 To bypass the NYT paywall: https://variety.com/2019/music/news/nick-tosches-dead-dies-rock-writer-1203376760/ https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/nick-tosches-music-journalist-novelist-obituary-901445/ Only 69? Way too early. I remember well when in 1986 (long before having read his r'n'r and country books, though I had been aware of them) I bought a copy of his "Hellfire" novelized bio of JLL at a Stars & Stripes bookstore at a US Army post here (i.e. straight from the source in those days long before the WWW) and immediately had to stop by again to buy the other remaining copy after I had told the editor of a rockabilly magazine about that book. Very entertaining reading ... RIP and thanks for many a good read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
