註釋"Richard Meltzer, the first guy to apply critical theory to rock in his classic book, The Aesthetics of Rock, understood the music's effect on mainstream pop culture. GULCHER, first published in 1972, is a hilarious celebration of the trash aesthetic abandoned by pretentious musicians but still in full glory in Japanese monster movies; Top Ten lists; prophylactics; the relationship between stamp collecting and the drug culture; going fishing without worrying if it's hip; bottlecap collecting; and dozens of other short takes on low culture. Gulcher was the first book to outline the parameters of Punk - the attitude that revived rock and roll from its syndrome of supergroups, 'concept albums' and Royal Command Performers. Anyone seeking to understand rock and roll's importance in the greater scheme of things misses this legendary book at his or her peril." --
