We put together a poetry magazine in high school called "Garage." I came up with the name, but didn't. By that I mean when I said it it immediately resonated for everyone there in the basement room where we starting to put the finishing touches on thing. It just made sense. And it was remarkable to see the notion of the mood of the Garage everywhere thereafter - especially in Garage Bands, the apt name for pre-Punk music whose genesis I'd assign the Creem Magazine, and its Elijah: Lester Bangs.
The mood of Garage was behind the basement band we formed in college years. And it was conscious. I had no technique or chops, but the thing was not done without some reflective contemplation. The philosophy it was Creem magazine, Lester Banks would write about this stuff. In a pretty Beat wigged out style. Like holy war dispatches. And he would explain to you why Alice Cooper and Question Mark were better than Grand Funk and Led Zepplin. And he could change is mind too, or pretend to.
