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. A classic story of individualism and persistence, Mould's autobiography describes the rich history of one of punk’s most revered figures, whose driving force altered the shape of American music.. In See a Little Light, Mould tells his dramatic story for the first time. Revealing the struggles with his own homosexuality, the complexities of his intimate relationships, and his drug and alcohol addiction, Mould takes us on a whirlwind ride through achieving sobriety, his acclaimed solo career, creating the hit band Sugar, a surprising detour into the world of pro wrestling, and finally finding his place in the world. 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

I can listen to Husker Du any day, but I am not a fan of Bob personally.. Yes, he's great, but he's also an as*hole Yes, I'm a Husker Du fan, and yes, Bob comes off like a jerk. Some people are not meant to write their autobiographies I guess because if there's brilliance and wisdom in Bob Mould, he didn't get it on paper. He has no perspective on himself, no insight, and his platitudes of warmth are contradicted by his actions. He proudly recounts how he runs into his ex-boyfriend in a coffee shop and actually turns his back on him--then says, half a page later, "I don't have any animosity toward Kevin. I wish him the best and hope that he is able to find his own inner peace." Sure, fine, wh. SciFi Mama said Trail worth taking. I came to Mould's work later in his professional life; in fact, until 18 months ago I hadn't heard anything he had ever done. A "you might also like" serial click session on a downloadable music service site (that started with a purchase from The Smiths,) eventually landed me at Bob Mould's Workbook.

Mould’s music brings that kind of thunder. Some of the time, and in surprising ways, so does his book." Dwight Garner, New York Times"Any number of veterans of the punk and post-punk campaigns of the 1980s could pack a memoir with endless drives in the van, bad food and bad contracts, shoestring recording sessions, hellhole nightclubs, sleeping on floors and all the other genre touchstones. I hope to one day be able to write a book like this, to live like this, to rock like this, but in the meantime, I can read this. I love Bob Mould.'Margaret Cho"Ultimately, it’s Mould's ongoing q
