About this ebook
No Regrets: Memoirs of a Punk recounts the author's early days on the San Francisco punk scene, and tells the tale of a young Catholic boy who escapes his conservative Texas upbringing to live the life of a free-spirited punk rocker in the San Francisco of the 1970's.
No Regrets traces the arch of a shy misfit as he rebels against his repressed Catholic upbringing and dysfunctional family to become a San Francisco punk in the late 70's. It brings to life the punk scene in San Francisco, the bands, the clubs and the author's most memorable experiences. More than this, it reveals the life-changing effect punk rock had on the author's life and how it set him on a totally different course.
A must-read for anyone who wants a peek into a unique subculture and the forces that compel a youth to break away from the mainstream to pursue a radically different kind of life.
