Empirically proving that -- no matter where you are -- kids
wanna rock, this is Chuck Klosterman's hilrious memoir of
growing up as a shameless metalhead in Wyndmere, North
Dakotoa (population: 498). With a voice like Ace Frehley's
guitar, Klosterman hacks his way through hair-band history,
beginning with that fateful day in 1983 when his older
brother brought home Mötley Crüe's Shout at the Devil. The
fifth-grade Chuck wasn't quite ready to rock -- his hair
was too short and his farm was too quiet -- but he still
found a way to bang his nappy little head. Before the
journey was over, he would slow-dance to Poison, sleep
innocently beneath satanic pentagrams, lust for Lita Ford,
and get ridiculously intellectual about Guns N' Roses.
C'mon and feel his noize.
