Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Majority of the essays, rants or screeds in this book had been published between 1994-2005 in Hitlist, Amp, Clawhold and Carbon 14. His WRITING.well, let's just say he UNDERSTANDS things. The various books, columns, rants, and, um, "instructional essays" (see: "The 10 Commandments of Drinking") are always entertaining, opinionated, and 100% REAL. Unlike most "punk rock" types, Reb lives in the real world. The world of trying to make a living in shitty, low paying jobs while despising customers and co-workers alike with an honest misanthropy that is the cursed perspective of ANYONE with the brains to see human existence as it really is. The world of being a hedonistic oddball who refuses to let anyone else dictate one's personal pleasures or aesthetics. The world of being too individualistic even for the co-called "outsiders", the carefully manicured counter-cultural rebels with their OWN set of lock-step "values". He understands, and celebrates, the basic pleasures of life that make it WORTH slugging your way through tedious work shifts and tolerating the assholes of everyday: beer, wrestling, sh*tkicker country music, 3-chord rock, b-movies, and creative revenge. He understands the bad, bad, bad, bad species that is man, and how uncreative and essentially worthless the average drone is. This item is printed on demand.
