A searing memoir of a broken childhood and the hope of escaping it-from the iconic Black Flag frontman and legendary punk musician Henry Rollins. What happens when a child grows up in a total vacuum of love? That was the reality for Henry Rollins, pioneering punk frontman of the seminal groups Black Flag and Rollins Band, who came of age in an environment seemingly determined to break him. For the first time, Rollins tells the story he spent most of his life trying to avoid, taking us through his childhood and adolescence-from a volatile, violent Washington, D.C. childhood spent shuffling between hostile parents, to his encounters with a seemingly endless parade of abusive men, to his eventual meeting with Ian McKay, a friendship that would ultimately save him, and their ultimate discovery of punk rock, which would become a lifeline. Rollins tells what it was like to live a life colored by the experience of constantly absorbing people's pain, like a bait dog- until he learned to bite back. "I have no desire to be a survivor," Rollins writes. "I'd rather accept, absorb, adapt, fight and break that which seeks to break me-to be that which remains." Told in Rollins' unmistakably blunt, brutal, and acerbic voice, Bait Dog Boy is a coming-of-age story with the teeth and truth of a great punk anthem. It's an unforgettable tale of what it means to not quite fit in anywhere, except on stage: A memoir as dynamic and singular as its subject.
Henry Rollins is a musician, writer, actor, radio host, activist, and spoken word artist. He was the singer of the hardcore punk band Black Flag and later the Rollins Band among other solo projects and collaborations. He won a Grammy for the spoken adaptation of his 1994 tour memoir, Get in the Van. Since the early 1980s he's released too many things to list here.
