He's been putting out 1 every year for the past 10 years or something.

i'm ashamed to say i stillllll haven't gotten #53 :(

it only just came out a few weeks ago...there doesnt seem to be much rhyme or reason when it gets out...i just noticed cause i get emails from last gasp on new stuff.

I just read a few pages of it in Chapters and it looks really interesting. I like the way it's written, with a few lines at a time from different people. Might go back to read some more pages..

i didnt know most of the interviewees so it can be a bit annoying to keep flipping back to see who they are. of course i zoomed to the green day parts first and then read the rest. there is a story about them being chased by skinheads in sacramento that was retold so funny. and billie joe always comments how scary things were all the time. its a great read...

I want that :o

Oral biographies are always like this. They make for pretty easy reads, but I'm always flipping back to see who people are, too, especially when there are 100+ people interviewed (I'm reading an oral biography at the moment, and I can't keep track of everybody).

Aaron Cometbus was in the band Chrimpshire and writes the Cometbus zines. He's a legend, actually. He is also the drummer for Pinhead Gunpowder.

Gimme Something Better - if you look on their gimmesomethingbetter.com website, has several online bookstores listings where you can buy the book. The site has a lot of stuff on it. I highly recommend it.
