Richard Meltzer was one of the earliest rock music critics. His first book was The Aesthetics of Rock, which evolved out of his undergraduate studies in Philosophy at SUNY at Stony Brook and graduate studies at Yale University. At school, he developed a reputation as something of a prankster, although his actions were closer to the spirit of performance art happenings promoted by one of his professors, Allan Kaprow, than to fraternity hijinks. One of his actions involved sending a tape recorder to class with his comments for the day on tape. Fellow student Sandy Pearlman was responsible for pushing the button. Meltzer also dabbled in art, including "detourned" comic books in the style of the French Situationist Movement, which had various objects added to the pages. ...more on Wikipedia about "Richard Meltzer"
