This is a book about freaks and for freaks, crafted by a master freak. In his latest madness, Luke Haines traces a secret and underground history of rock, starting with its most eminent misfits. With scathing, acid humor and prodigious lucidity, the former leader of The Auteurs and Black Box Recorder has written a manifesto to be framed and arguably one of the most entertaining volumes in music literature. Through these pages crawl oddities like Gene Vincent, The Shadows, The Incredible String Band, Jim Morrison, T. Rex, Gary Glitter, Lou Reed, Morrissey, The Fall, The Go-Betweens, the Manson family, and a bunch of wrestling villains in leotards, among other creepy creatures. "Freaks Out!" is a wonderful vindication of otherness and anomaly, certainly not recommended reading for normal people.
