The Evolution of a Cro-Magnon

De: John Joseph

Narrado por: John Joseph

The long awaited republishing of NYHC Legend, John Bloodclot Joseph's raw and unfiltered autobiography. As real as it gets!

Updated with new chapters.

In his newly updated autobiography, NYHC legend John Bloodclot Joseph recounts his hard times and spiritual redemption. A traumatic childhood in foster homes was just the beginning of John's evolution. Before fronting one of the most important bands in the underground punk scene, the Cro-Mags, John faced homelessness, addiction, betrayal and insanity. Still, even his success couldn't save him from a relapse that set him back to square one - rock bottom. The book is a raw and unapologetic autobiography about his life. Consider yourself warned.

POW!

What a life! I can't give this book the review I'd like to because every other word would be bleeped the F out. Some chapters were painful to listen to, but I wanted to listen to it all and find out what he said at the end. I was blown away by the courage this man has. I listened to the last two chapters of the book before going to sleep for the night. I woke up in the middle of the night seeing a man's face with a white flowing beard and thought, okay, whatever, and fell back asleep. When I woke up in the morning, he was there again in full glory. It was Moses, standing tall with the staff in his hand raising his arms to the sea of turmoil, with dark skies, clouds rolling by, thunder and lightning crashing all around as the seas parted and I thought, yes! If there was a man alive today that could, through sheer will power and passion stand up, part the waves and say, "Yo, let my boys through", this would be the MF'r that could do it.

Exciting and inspiring, great listen/read.

John's narration makes an already extremely interesting collection of stories even better. Go listen now.

Powerful voice. Powerful story

This book is a truly epic example of how traumatic life can be, and how that trauma can be overcome. PMA

john in his own words

The book can dip at points but joeseph has some great stories and a gallery of some of the most interesting people. A great read but the audio has joeseph himself which adds another level.

A world many of us will never see.

The life of John Joseph blew me away, particularly his early years. So many of us live in our comfortable bubbles and have no understanding of the reality for those less fortunate, particularly children. Putting it mildly - he had a very tough upbringing with almost no support. He was left to his own devices to survive on the streets. His matter-of-fact telling of his story is powerful.

I was initially fascinated by John Joseph's life but I gave the book up less then 3/4 way through. I could not listen any more, especially the tales of life in the punk world. So it was not a 5 star for me.

Gripping!

Once I started it, I couldn't stop. John has been through hell and lived to tell about it.

A Must read !

John's Evolution of a Cro-Magnon is not just good entertainment, it is a raw depiction of a journey to enlightenment. It is truly a blessing to have experienced his story. thanks John, you have given me renewed hope in life. Big changes are happening in my life. Leaving a toxic relationship, and moving on to positivity and a healthy spiritual journey. Thanks again!

I’m at a loss for words

There was nothing I disliked about this book. Was almost brought to tears many times. How someone can turn their life around in such a positive way after having so many cards stacked against him, is so motivational! The story was told brilliantly. I’m at a loss for words after hearing John’s life story.

love this book, it made me laugh and cry.

I loved this book. It made me laugh and cry at times. The struggle in life is real for everyone in this world and this book shows how you can overcome hardship no matter what.

Fantastic read

Such an amazing story and brilliantly narrated. Looking forward to reading more of JJ's work. PMA!!
