Bangs links restored [update]

Posted by s woods on August 28, 2007

See, it’s not so bad, kids… everything will come back in due time. Here’s the Lester Bangs links page. I’ve rid the page of all the bad links (of which there were several), will try and find where some of those links have moved to–and of course, will add any new ones as I see them.

 UPDATE: More links added, more restored… and special thanks to Glorious Noise for organizing such a great collection of Bangs’s scribblings in Rolling Stone.
