In his new book, Killing Yourself to Live, senior writer for Spin magazine and Esquire columnist Chuck Klosterman travels to and explores every venue of rock star demise, from the Chelsea Hotel to the swamp where Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane went down. An eminently entertaining pop culture analyst, Klosterman is the best-selling author of the previous books Fargo Rock City, in which he explains why women love Bon Jovi, and Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, in which he examines how being a Lakers fan instead of a Celtics fan can change your destiny.
