Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A really "real" look at addiction, and all the horrors that come from it. Written in an honest, authentic voice, Patrick exposes all his demons to us with the filter totally off. Punk rock, heroin, bank robberies, and prison make up his life's journey, and I really felt moved by his story. Doubly impactful for me, as I live in the Bay Area and have 10 years sobriety myself!

This memoir follows a punk rock pioneer on his slide into drug abuse and life as an armed robber, all the way through life in recovery and what it's like to look back on those times, knowing all the while that he is still under the threat of three strikes, a twenty-five-to-life prison sentence waiting. He has no choice but to deal with it all drug free. During punk rock's heyday, Patrick O'Neil worked at the San Francisco's legendary Mabuhay Gardens. He went on to become the road manager for Dead Kennedys and Flipper, as well as T.S.O.L. and the Subhumans. He holds an MFA from Antioch University Los Angeles. No library descriptions found. |
