Summary
The long-awaited, full-force autobiography of American punk music hero, Bob Mould.
Bob Mould stormed into America's punk rock scene in 1979, when clubs across the country were filling with kids dressed in black leather and torn denim, packing in to see bands like the Ramones, Black Flag, and the Dead Kennedys. Hardcore punk was a riot of jackhammer rhythms, blistering tempos, and bottomless aggression. And at its center, a new band out of Minnesota called Hüsker Dü was bashing out songs and touring the country on no money, driven by the inspiration of guitarist and vocalist Bob Mould. Their music roused a generation.

A Strong Narrative
Overall, I was impressed by this story of one of my favourite musicians who has led, in many ways, a groundbreaking life. Lots of detail (perhaps too much?) and the only other minor quibble was his deadpan delivery made him sound occasionally bored with his own life!

Great, very personal biography by a great musician
Great, very personal biography by a great musician. I now understand a little more about the stories behind his haunting dark lyrics and powerful compositions.

Honest & engaging
I loved this book. Bob's delivery was refreshingly candid and delivered in his own slightly deadpan (yet still entertaining) style.
I was a big Sugar fan but didn't find Husker Du till later in life. it covers all this and his solo career too but...more importantly, it strikes a great balance between describing his music career and his own personal journey (particularly around his sexuality) in equally satisfying amounts.
If you're someone who just wants a list of musical events, dates and releases, this isn't the book for you. If you want to really want to get to know Bob Mould and understand his personal story, life and times, then read this.
I read a lot of music biogs and this rates in my top 3. No question.
Highly recommended!

Story of a legend.
It took a while to get used to Bob's sigh-filled, annoyed delivery - but the story is great.
He is clearly still very bitter though about his foray into digital music in the early noughties and the lack of success it had - given that years later dance/rock crossovers were all the rage.

Big fan of Bob's music, not sure about this though
it was great to learn more about Bob, the chronology of his music and the events that shaped him, and that his struggles and life are pretty ordinary. I found the narration dry, depressed and uninspiring though.
