My Damage

The Story of a Punk Rock Survivor

By: Keith Morris, Jim Ruland

Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin

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 40-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.

brilliant

I can't say enough good things about this book. love Keith Morris, his story and music are captivating. read wonderfully. everyone should buy this book.

Entertaining story written by the best punk front man of the early 80s second wave of punk!!!!

At first i was disappointed Keith didn’t record the audiobook himself. Maybe his voice may have been to distinct and distractive to the story. Good book flies by ,I’ve been a fan for years and gives a different perspective of the author and his life. One of the greatest punk musicians of our time his influence is huge. I thought it was refreshing to hear that he doesn’t see it that way. Hopefully they make some interesting new music now that he’s back with the circle jerks.

Keith Morris is an interesting guy....

Keith Morris is an interesting guy....
I enjoyed listening to his life story. My ONLY complaint is : I wish he himself would have read the auidiobook, instead of someone else. Other than that, great book and im glad i listened to it.

Great insight into one of LA punk's founding fathers

Loved the book. Recommend to anyone with even a slight interest in contemporary music history. Only critique is that I would've preferred to hear Keith's charismatic voice telling the story, as opposed to an actor, who did a fine job, but He's not Keith...

Good Listen!

I'm a long time fan of basically anything Keith Morris so I can't say if it would be as good for non fans, but if you are it's probably for you.

If I had one knock it's that I wished there was more of it.
