pickDecent read. I kept thinking is this someone famous, a famous artist or punk rock musician?
Well, no, not really. He is very famous for originating the Afro-Punk scene and Afropunk Festival which has now gone global. Noice!! 🎸
Movie is out-of-print though, not on streaming anywhere and a DVD will set you back close to $100 ! 🤑
Jack (formerly Jonathan) Shit of the experimental punk band The Shits has his bass guitar stolen by his roommate, the lead singer of their band for drug money. He sets out to to find his roommate & his guitar & tries to salvage his band's floundering reputation along the way. Set in early 90s NY, there is much talk of gentrification, artistic purity etc etc I honestly really disliked this book. I felt like it was trying too hard to be funny.(CONT)
My favorite gift is by far my kiddos. S my hairstylist loves to work on hair. Baby E and I enjoy cuddles, and F independent doing her own thing #SelfieScavengerHunt #WinterGames #GingerbreadGems
pickWow! Bleak, sensational, sad. So much talent wasted by pain, excess, and addiction. The format is brilliant, the history raw, and the pace compulsive. Hard to put down, I‘ll be thinking of this one for a long while. If you are an 80‘s punk kid, I highly recommend! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

One theory is that #FaceTheMusic originated from theatre, where performers had to literally face the music (the orchestra positioned in front of the stage, in this case) and overcome stage fright.

bailedChecked this one out from the library after seeing it somewhere in my book wanderings, but just not connecting and am going to let it move to the next person on the wait list
pickOk time for a non-fiction review. I'm skeptical as to whether Zen is actually "real" Buddhism (as in anywhere near close to what the original Buddha taught) but I thought this introduction into the mind of an irreverent "Zen Master" was raw and honest enough to convince me there is something of substance to this thing we call Buddhism, whatever that may be exactly. Or better yet. Enlightenment. What the HELL is that supposed to be anyway? ?
