LESTER BANGS 1948-1982
Lester Bangs—rock critic, author, part-time musician and full time personality—died on April 30th in his apartment in New York City. I can’t tell you how he died, since autopsies in this town take up to three months, and I can’t tell you why he died, since whatever did happen, it certainly was not by design.

Lester Bangs—rock critic, author, part-time musician and full time personality—died on April 30th in his apartment in New York City. I can’t tell you how he died, since autopsies in this town take up to three months, and I can’t tell you why he died, since whatever did happen, it certainly was not by design. I’d spoken to him by phone earlier that day, making plans to get together over the coming weekend, and his state of health—both mental and physical—seemed the best it’d been since I’d personally known him, and that dated back to 1973.
