Richard Lloyd
Contra | 2019
How we like to read from someone who has experienced first-hand moments that have marked the history of the rock. If you are one of us, this book is for you. With the signature of Richard Lloyd, guitarist and co-founder of Television, We find a story in which he narrates in the first person episodes of the underground New Yorker with overwhelming simplicity and humility. And not only from the music scene, also of his life: a childhood of innocent mischief, the first flirtations with drugs, his visits to hospitals and psychiatric hospitals or his relationship with Samantha (his first guitar) until recording Marquee Moon, one of the albums written in gold letters in the history of the rock. And through, CBGB as a scene, anecdotes with Lou Reed or Led Zeppelin and bands like Ramones, Blondie and Talking Heads roaming around. Yes indeed, don't expect an autobiography. Lloyd already warns at the beginning of the book: These are memories that are surprisingly intact in your brain., which makes us enjoy a personal book in which we immerse ourselves in an effervescent New York in the middle of the decade of the 70.
