Peter Laughner (August 22, 1952 – June 22, 1977) was an American guitarist, songwriter and singer. A native of Bay Village, Ohio, Laughner remains a rather little known figure; nonetheless, Richie Unterberger described him as "probably the single biggest catalyst in the birth of Cleveland's alternative rock scene in the mid 1970s." ==Music career== Laughner led a variety of groups. Among them were Mr. Charlie, Cinderella Backstreet, Peter & The Wolves, The Blue Drivers and Friction. However, his most enduring contributions were to Rocket From The Tombs and the early work of Pere Ubu. In addition to all this, he wrote for Creem magazine.〔http://www.handsomeproductions.com/wordsbypete.htm#creem〕 Laughner was a voracious rock fan and writer, and was heavily influenced by the writings of Lester Bangs. Like Bangs, Laughner worshiped Lou Reed, but also drew inspiration from folk and blues figures such as Robert Johnson and Woody Guthrie. Tom Verlaine was also one of Laughner's idols.〔''Peter Laughner is dead'', Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung: The Work of a Legendary Critic'', collected writings, Greil Marcus, ed. Anchor Press, 1988.

However, Richard Lloyd disputes this.〔http://richardlloyd.com/solute.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Laughner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
