Review: Never Known Questions: Five Decades of The Residents

Never Known Questions: Five Decades of The Residents Never Known Questions: Five Decades of The Residents by Ian Shirley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a real foray into the obscure world of The Residents, from the earliest San Francisco roots up to the 2015 doings of Randy, Chuck, and Bob. Lots of behind-the-scene details from business dealings and creative collaborations to how it all works, or doesn't. This also tells the story of Ralph Records, the frantic efforts of the big theatrical productions and the stories of some of the most zealous fans that came to work with the group. As a fan, I really enjoyed this well-researched and readable history.
