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:

    In comedy, the witty style wins out over every mishap of the plot.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    New is a word for fools in towns who think
    Style upon style in dress and thought at last
    Must get somewhere.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The difference between style and taste is never easy to define, but style tends to be centered on the social, and taste upon the individual. Style then works along axes of similarity to identify group membership, to relate to the social order; taste works within style to differentiate and construct the individual. Style speaks about social factors such as class, age, and other more flexible, less definable social formations; taste talks of the individual inflection of the social.
    John Fiske (b. 1939)
