Walley's Witzend
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- In 1972, Walley published the first (and only) American biography of the avant garde musician and social critic Frank Zappa called "No Commercial Potential: The Saga of Frank Zappa" . After numerous reprints and three revisions, it is still in print thirty years later available through DeCapo books. David is known as the father of the contemporary rock and roll biography, and his book was characterized by the Village Voice's Milo Miles as "one of the earliest rock books and unjustly forgotten". Obviously it no longer is. Continuing his fascination with American originals, in 1975 he released, "Nothing in Moderation: The Ernie Kovacs Story" a seminal and unique biography of television's first surrealist comedian who became an iconic and inspirational figure to the original crew from Saturday Night Live, as well as comedians like Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, George Carlin and others. Though subsequently published by two other imprints as "The Ernie Kovacs Phile", and, much to the author's dismay because he won't realize one thin dime, this classic can still be purchased at more discriminating on-line used bookstores. He encourages you to seek it out anyway, it won't hurt and you'll laugh. Is that so bad?
