A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas
by Chuck Klosterman
Chuck Klosterman IV Consists of Three Parts:
THINGS THAT ARE TRUE
THINGS THAT MIGHT BE TRUE
SOMETHING THAT ISN'T TRUE AT ALL
Review: This book is full of Profiles And Trend Stories:
Britney Spears, Radiohead, Billy Joel, Metallica, Val Kilmer, Bono, Wilco,
The White Stripes, Steve Nash, Morrissey and Robert Plant. I loved the Morrissey article, it was unique and enlightening. Val Kilmer is officially in my mind a "freak" after reading about his ranch lifestyle and connection to Christian Science. Interestingly enough, Klosterman had opinions and theories on everything from monogamy to pirates. I thought I would start reading his earlier works, but am glad I started with this collection, since it was full of old and new articles that may have appeared in GQ, SPIN, The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, The Believer and ESPN. Rock on if you can't stop reading about music and pop culture.
