Recenzii
“Nearly
every
page
ofApathycontains
a
scene
about
which
you
find
yourself
muttering
out
loud,
‘No
way,’
and
two
pages
later
Kent
has
fleshed
it
out
so
completely
that
you
can
almost
hear
him
responding
‘Way’…If
you
ever
wanted
to
be
a
fly
on
the
wall
to
rock
‘n’
roll
debauchery,
Nick
Kent
is
your
man.”
BuffaloNews“Apathyis not some sordid tale of rockstar trainspotting…Kent mattered (and matters still) because he was a great writer, a passionate music love and a man able to tap into the cultural zeitgeist at will. Essential reading for anyone who cares about the rock culture of the ‘70s.”
Glide Magazine, 10/27/10
“[A]nyone who can write a memoir that includes folks like David Bowie, Chrissie Hynde, Lou Reed, and Keith Richards and never comes off as a name-dropper must be telling a pretty good story, wouldn’t you say?”
RollingStone.com, “25 Coolest Rock Memoirs”
The Onion’sAV Club, 9/1/10
“Apathyping-pongs easily between personal reminiscences and more general overviews of rock’s shape each year.”
Goldmine,10/1
“A
vibrant
story,
an
autobiography
that
never
hits
auto-pilot”
Library Journal,9/24
“A candid, graphic, and fascinating memoir of [Kent’s] 1970s… Amazing true stories on every page… Highly recommended for anyone interested in the dark days of rock and in British rock journalism.”
HartfordAdvocate,10/15/10
MilwaukeeShepherd Express, 11/8/10
“[A] compelling page-turner and revealing look at the origins of heavy metal, space rock, glitter and punk.”Crawdaddy! ,11/24/10
“At once sentimental, salacious, and sometimes shocking slice of essential music memoir…If there is redemption in Kent’s decade of groping in the dark, it’s that he lived to illuminate it; his emotional appreciation of rock’s art prevails over 30 years of chitchat and theory about it…A whistle blower and old-time investigative journalist, Kent fulfills a necessary function as truth teller in the flighty discourse of pop culture. Reporting back from a time when the complicity of the press and the audience converged to become the great rock ‘n’ roll swindle, he’s done his due diligence and given us more than a glimpse behind the curtain.”
DetroitMetrotimes,11/30/10
“One of the more fascinating reads of the year.”
Metroland,
12/13/10
“Englishman Nick Kent had a front-row seat for the tumult of music that spilled out of the ’60s into the ’70s…He depicts it all with the same honest flair that put him on the map as a journalist in the first place.”
