Lenny Kaye\\u2019s just published \\u2018Lightning Striking: Ten Transformative Moments In Rock And Roll\\u2019, events in particular times and places that changed the landscape, among them (and discussed here) Liverpool in 1962, New York in 1975 and Seattle in 1991. In the digital world, will we ever have that kind of local music scene again? His fascinating observations include driving to San Francisco for the Love-In, the world of CBGBs, Norwegian Black Metal, life in the Patti Smith Group and some of \\u201cthe eccentric characters I feel naturally drawn to\\u201d which include Joe Meek, Stiv Bators and the Ramones. Among the questions: what\\u2019s the correct way to file Captain Beefheart, under \\u2018C\\u2019 or \\u2018B\\u2019? This is a man whose record collection is divided into \\u201cfood groups\\u201d and includes \\u201ca wacko section\\u201d. He\\u2019s wonderful company.
