> I think Run DMC and Aerosmith had a big hand in that with Walk This Way.
Yep. I'm actually a historian and college prof-- I show that video in my classes to make exactly that point. I was in college by then and off into 1920s gypsy jazz and jams bands and reggae, all the sort of weird stuff you'd never hear on radio in a small town but was all over the campus station. I'm sure if I were 5-6 years younger I too would have been watching Yo! MTV Raps! as well as whatever the metal show was called. But instead my experience was very similar to that portrayed in Fargo Rock City, though I'm a few years older than Klosterman so was really into British and German metal bands in the early 80s, rather than the LA-based American ones he saw on TV a few years later.
This is a couple years old now, but an interesting and hilarious read for any of you who haven't read it already.
I've read a couple of this guy's books, Fargo Rock City and Killing Yourself To Live. Both come highly recommended by SmooveTaste for any Kiss fan who likes to read and laugh.
