Killing yourself to live

For 6,557 miles from New York to Mississippi to Seattle, Chuck Klosterman journeys across America to visit its most famous rock ‘n’ roll death sites. Twenty-one days later, after three relationships, an encounter with various cottonmouth snakes and a night spent snorting cocaine in a graveyard, Klosterman started to order his thoughts on American culture and the meaning of celebrity. Uproariously funny and smart, 'Killing Yourself to Live' is a meditation on life, death, celebrity, rock ‘n’ roll, why the greatest career move any musician can make is to stop breathing... and what that means for the rest of us.
