Read in January, 2005
Joe Cole, best friend of Henry Rollins, was murdered before this book could be released. It's a sad story and what's even sadder is that Joe showed a lot of promise as a writer. This book is basically his version of what takes place in the latter half of Rollins's "Get In The Van", which chronicles the incessant touring of hardcore legends, Black Flag during the 80's. Lots of funny stuff, but also touches on the alienation and anger that a lot of these guys were dealing with.

recommends it for:
anyone who has read "Get In The Van"
This is the roadies point of view of a couple of the same tours that Rollins wrote about in "Get In The Van". It's interesting to get a viewpoint apart from Rollins, but it's really more of the same.

Joe Cole is kind of a whiner (rich kid slumming it on tour with Black Flag) but reading his diary is illuminating because it puts to rest all rumors that Rollins is gay.
