BY NOW MANY people outside the peculiar world of fandom know there exists something called fan fiction--that there are reams of reader-generated stories floating around the Internet based on characters from TV, movies, and books.
Drawing from interviews with numerous industry insiders including Dave Evans (original singer for AC/DC), Kirk Dyer (tour manager for Cheap Trick), "Pyro" Pete Cappadocia (pyro technician for AC/DC since 1982) and many more, Let There Be Rock covers everything from the band's debut in Australia in the early 1970s to the devastating death of their lead singer Bon Scott in 1980 to their continuing fandom into the 21st century and beyond.
But that's a half-hearted, anemic kind of fandom, and I've felt vaguely uneasy about it for a while.
