my favorite writer ever, even if it makes me sound illiterate; and as much as i read great writers from all over history and the world, i still think lester was the best.
i don't idolize him, i actually think of him as a regular loudmouth yob who had a gift for words and a frenzied passion for music, which is why i love him. he sounds like he would have been a riot to hang with (at least through his writings, it seems he was more in the depressive/self destructive side of the coin).
there's tons of great writers in rock, not many lately though; it's difficult with the way the media is nowadays.
