Lester Bangs reviews Philosophy of the World by The Shaggs

 

We Are The Shaggs, the 2026 Ken Kwapis documentary, hasn't yet found a streaming home (catch it on the festival circuit if you can). 

Till then read the brilliant 1981 Lester Bangs review of their album, Philosophy of the World: Better Than the Beatles (and DNA, Too)

During a discussion of his film, Ken Kwapis recommended reading The Shaggs chapter in "This Is What It Sounds Like," a book by Dr. Susan Rogers.
