    My Damage: The Story of a Punk Rock Survivor

    Written by Keith Morris and Jim Ruland

    Narrated by James Patrick Cronin

    4.5/5

    About this audiobook

    Keith Morris is a true punk icon. No one else embodies the sound of Southern Californian hardcore. Short and sporting waist-length dreadlocks, Morris is known the world over for his take-no-prisoners approach on the stage and his integrity off of it. Over the course of his forty-year career, he's battled diabetes, drug and alcohol addiction, and the record industry.

    My Damage is more than a book about the highs and lows of a punk rock legend, however. It's also a look at rock 'n' roll through the lens of someone who has shared the stage with just about every major figure in the music industry and appeared in cult films like The Decline of Western Civilization and Repo Man. It's a Hollywood story from a native's perspective. My Damage is Morris's streets, his scene, his music-as only he can tell it.

      I joined the punk/thrash scene in Detroit in 87, so unfortunately I missed most of these events , but I love reading/hearing about them. Really cool to get in the heads of some of punks pioneers and the cool thing is that Keith got his shit together and he doesn't seem like an asshole. Of course he's writing the story, but he was often the target of his own scorn.As far as punk rock biographies go, this one was much more sane than some of the others I've read. I suggest it for hardcore fans of the early days of punk.
