In this engaging, often hilarious memoir of a life in punk rock, one-time music promoter and longtime librarian, Peter McDonald, takes us on a wild tour where as a boy he heard a firefight between Che Guevara and armed militia in the Venezuelan jungle on to living with a young street urchin named SAMO who would go on to become the artist Basquiat. At once poignant and part confessional, this memoir is perhaps like no other in that it becomes in the end a journey of spiritual awakening out of one man's disillusionment with the rock'n'roll industry. From a boyhood in the tropics, to boarding schools in Europe, on to shamanic training in the Northwest, we follow an itinerant iconoclast in this riotously engaging work. McDonald traces his coming of age during the Vietnam War, which he narrowly avoided by going to college in Canada. He would then come to spend five years alone in the Alaska wilderness that forged in him a lifelong devotion to environmental advocacy and stewardship. It is certainly an otherworldly journey that is part imagination, part fable, and unapologetically the author's own truth.
