Lester Bangs - Style

Style

Bangs adopted a radical and critical style of working, apparent in this quote:

Well basically I just started out to lead with the most insulting question I could think of. Because it seemed to me that the whole thing of interviewing as far as rock stars and that was just such a suck-up. It was groveling obeisance to people who weren't that special, really. It's just a guy, just another person, so what?

Famous quotes containing the word style:

    I never knew a writer yet who took the smallest pains with his style and was at the same time readable.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    We think it is the richest prose style we know of.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Where there is no style, there is in effect no point of view. There is, essentially, no anger, no conviction, no self. Style is opinion, hung washing, the calibre of a bullet, teething beads.... One’s style holds one, thankfully, at bay from the enemies of it but not from the stupid crucifixions by those who must willfully misunderstand it.
    Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
