Who's the Stranger?

About the Book

Using four different approaches, or in this case chapter headings, I try to understand as well as to explain a series of interrelated incidents, events and voluntary actions leading to the creation of the identity of the stranger, a nickname consistently mentioned in a considerable number of rock songs, many of which have become major hit songs in the National Rock Hit Charts.

This is a unique book, since it ventures to establish the real existence of someone who has been mythicized by rock bands, and who is believed by many to be a fiction character.
