This book profiles dozens of outsider musicians, both prominent and obscure, and presents their strange life stories along with photographs, interviews, cartoons, and discographies. Including: The Shaggs, Tiny Tim, Syd Barrett, Joe Meek, Captain Beefheart, Daniel Johnston, Wesley Willis, and many more.
