'Creem: America's Only Rock 'n' Roll Magazine' pays tribute to wild and crazy music rag of the 1970s— and reminds you why its legacy (and the writing) still matters. Our review:

Kramer plucked a bug-eyed, 19-year-old college-radio DJ named Dave Marsh and made him editor-in-chief; the reasoning, he said, was that the kid had played the Who’s “Can’t Explain” 23 times in a row on his show. He set the tone that immediately helped distinguishfrom other magazines, and is one of several folks credited with coining the term “punk rock.
Add in Kramer, and you had three alpha males jockeying for supremacy, occasionally butting heads and pushing each other to do more out-there work. The situation became even more pronounced when Kramer decided to move the staff into a 100-acre farm in rural Walled Lake, Michigan, for an experiment in communal living.
Some of those misfits, naturally, would become famous. In addition to ex-staffers and masthead superstars, the documentary piles on testimonies from musicians, actors, filmmakers, designers and other creative types who either grew up on the mag or were featured in its sticky pages. Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament talks about growing up in Montana and becoming enamored with the far-away worldpresented in its pages.
