Описание: During a five-year detour at Mercury Records in the early 1970s, Nelson signed the New York Dolls to their first recording contract, then settled back down to writing criticism at Rolling Stone as the last in a great tradition of record-review editors that included Jon Landau, Dave Marsh, and Greil Marcus. Famously championing the early careers of artists like Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Rod Stewart, Neil Young, and Warren Zevon, Nelson not only wrote about them but often befriended them. Never one to be pigeonholed, he was also one of punk rocks first stateside mainstream proponents, embracing the Sex Pistols and the Ramones But in 1982, he walked away from it all --Rolling Stone, his friends, and rock & roll. By the time he died in his New York City apartment in 2006 at the age of seventy -- a week passing before anybody discovered his body -- almost everything hed written had been relegated to back issues of old music magazines. How could a man whose writing had been so highly regarded have fallen so quickly from our collective memory? With Paul Nelsons posthumous blessing, Kevin Avery spent four years researching and writingEverything Is an Afterthought: The Life and Writing of Paul Nelson. This unique anthology-biography compiles Nelsons best works (some of it previously unpublished) while also providing a vivid account of his private and public lives. Avery interviewed almost 100 of Paul Nelsons friends, family, and colleagues, including several of the artists about whom hed written.
