Fargo Rock City: A Heavy Metal Odyssey in Rural North Dakota Summary
| It's 1983 and Chuck Klosterman--a Wyndmere, North Dakota fifth-grader--wants to rock. His parents will not permit the long hair that his particular brand of rocking requires, but thankfully his brother returns from Fort Benning with the right tunes: Motley Cure's Shout at the Devil. So begins Chuck's love affair with heavy metal music, a genre that conquered the charts throughout the 1980s before disaffected grunge rockers like Nirvana and Pearl Jam laid it to waste in the early 90s. Critics damned the music as fake and unaccomplished. Once Guns N' Roses (metal's ultimate creation) fell of the radar, the children of 80s metal went into proverbial hiding. Many left their crusty tape and LP collections in their closets and went off to college to buy compact discs that contained alternative and progressive music. However, a phenomenon tha tsold as many records as metal did never really goes away, and Chuck Klosterman is here to explain what that means to you. |
