THE LESTER LETTER
Bangs kicked off 1976 by sitting at his typewriter for two weeks and unloading on CREEM founder Barry Kramer. Here, for the first time ever, is that letter.
December 1, 2023
Dear Barry:
I am writing this (editing and typing it up) about two weeks after I began it so some parts may seem dated or confusing now (especially since I just realized the time is stretching to a month after I started it...ah well, Finnegan’s Wake wasn’t born in day...and this is much easier to read; entertaining, instructive, even), but bear with me.
