Hard-Core: Life of my Own

Harley Flanagan provides a fascinating memoir: a homeless child prodigy and family friend of Andy Warhol and Allen Ginsberg, at a young age he became close to many stars of the early punk rock scene such as Joe Strummer of The Clash and was taught to play bass by members of the famed punk band Bad Brains. He went on to start the notorious hardcore band Cro-Mags. Harley was never shy: making friends with important figures like Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead, defending himself in street battles and, most recently, finding media play and court battles after former band members betrayed their one-time friend and bandmate.
