“As a freshman at Carnegie Mellon University, author Michael Chabon was captivated by the music — especially by a band called “Carsickness.”
In an essay that first appeared in the liner notes to the compilation “Carsickness: 1979–1982,” Chabon remembers his first experience seeing the band, the formative moment in his life that they came to embody, and how he came to front a band himself.”
