Critics Review
“With scholarship rather than machismo, intelligence rather than bluster, gets to the heart of the Stooges’ lortuous and lonely road to Raw Power: one of the greatest albums ever made.”
–Jon Savage, author of “England’s Dreaming: Sex Pistols and Punk Rock”“A kaleidoscopic study that crisscrosses and brilliantly illuminates the Stooges’ second act. Begnal brings together the methodology of a scholar with the enthusiasm and knowledge of a lifelong fan. Death Trip will enthrall, inform, and entertain diehard and casual devotees alike as it elucidates, through the story of Raw Power, the lost history of punk before the Ramones and the Sex Pistols.”–Peter Stanfield, author of “The Yardbirds”About The Author
