2286 80fde3c0-169e-4c3a-8da7-486dd6076211 Black Sabbath's Master of Reality John Darnielle calibre (8.16.2) [https://calibre-ebook.com] 2008-04-14T12:00:00+00:00 <div> <p>Black Sabbath's Master of Reality has maintained remarkable historical status over several generations; it's a touchstone for the directionless, and common coin for young men and women who've felt excluded from the broader cultural economy. John Darnielle hears it through the ears of Roger Painter, a young adult locked in a southern California adolescent psychiatric center in 1985; deprived of his Walkman and hungry for comfort, he explains Black Sabbath as one might describe air to a fish, or love to an android, hoping to convince his captors to give him back his tapes.</p></div> Bloomsbury Publishing USA 9781441121943 aMuoAwAAQBAJ eng Music History & Criticism Genres & Styles Rock Instruction & Study Theory Pop Vocal
