Zpívej pozpátku a plač – Lanegan Mark (2023)

The confession of a cult musician and the story of rock in Seattle in the 1990s ***** Mark Lanegan made it to the world stages from a dusty rural town solely due to his sheer determination — and a lack of other options. As the frontman of the rock band Screaming Trees, he witnessed the rise of legends from the Seattle music scene. Personalities like Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley from Alice in Chains, and Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age accompanied Lanegan not only into recording studios and on tours but also in the pursuit of heroin and crack through dive bars, the apartments of eccentric oddballs, and junkie dens. His story is also the story of 90s American rock in all its forms. ***** In the uncompromising book Sing Backwards and Weep, Lanegan recounts his own creations and the behind-the-scenes of show business, but also his lifelong struggle with depression and addiction. On a silver hotel tray — with a slice of lemon to help dissolve the heroin — he serves a confident yet self-critical intimate insight into the daily struggles of a passionate musician and drug addict.
