Description
Freaks Out! Weirdos, Misfits and Deviants: The Rise and Fall of Righteous Rock N Roll by Luke Haines is a manifesto for those who refuse to be defined. This book is not for the middlebrow, the highbrow, or the list-makers, but for those who inhabit the spaces between. In this odyssey through the ages, Luke Haines explores how the 'freaks' infiltrated modern culture, only to be co-opted by the mainstream. He tells the story of pivotal freaks who shaped rock 'n' roll, from Johnnie Ray to Syd Barrett, and explains how their influence can be seen in the Cathars, the Ranters, and the Yippies. Part memoir, part history, Freaks Out! is a celebration of the outsider spirit that defined rock 'n' roll. With its unique blend of music, culture, and rebellion, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who's ever felt like they don't fit in.
