At some point early on in the book, Jack Grisham says that if you are looking for a band biography, you've got the wrong book. He was right about that. Not a ton about TSOL in this book or any of the other Southern California punk bands that were TSOL's contemporaries. Just a lot violence and deviant behavior. Consider this the West Coast equivalent of John Joseph's book but it's darker, more horrifying and, unlike Joseph's book where Joseph was more a product of his circumstances and upbringing, it seems like everything that happened to Jack Grisham was largely of Jack Grisham's doing. He doesn't spend a lot of time playing the blame game. It's his life. And that's it.
