Description
Hard-Core Life of My Own is a memoir by Harley Flanagan, a young man who grew up on the streets of New York City in the 1970s. Born into a world of crime, poverty and abuse, Flanagan's early life was marked by struggle and resilience. By the age of 10, he was already a fixture of the city's punk rock scene, drumming for his aunt's band and socializing with influential figures like Debbie Harry. As he navigated the dangers and excesses of the Lower East Side, Flanagan also found a sense of belonging and purpose in the music. He went on to form the notorious hardcore band Cro-Mags, and his story is one of raw energy, unapologetic attitude and a fierce determination to survive. Today, Flanagan is a respected instructor in the martial art of Jiu-Jitsu, and his memoir offers a unique glimpse into a world that was both beautiful and brutal.
