false 155529 3 <div>In this eye-opening memoir, Lisa Crystal Carver recalls her extraordinary youth and charts the late-80s, early-90s punk subculture that she helped shape. She recounts how her band Suckdog was born in 1987 and the wild events that followed: leaving small-town New Hampshire to tour Europe at 18, becoming a teen publisher of fanzines, a teen bride, and a teen prostitute. <i>Spin</i> has called Suckdog's album <i>Drugs Are Nice</i> one of the best of the '90s, and the book includes photos of infamous European shows. Yet the book also tells of how Lisa saw the need for change in 1994, when her baby was born with a chromosomal deletion and his father became violent. With lasting lightness and surprising gravity, <i>Drugs Are Nice</i> is a definitive account of the generation that wanted to break every rule, but also a story of an artist and a mother becoming an adult on her own terms.</div> 150116 12 10 2005 Drugs Are Nice: A Post-Punk Memoir total:196|5:56|4:82|3:42|2:13|1:3| 196 763 376 46 5 1 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 12 02:23:32 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 12 11:02:10 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jun 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 12:31:57 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 12:54:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu Apr 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 12:15:48 -0700 2009 Fri May 01 06:38:19 -0700 2009
