The Prodigal Rogerson: The Tragic, Hilarious, and Possibly Apocryphal Story of Circle Jerks Bassist Roger Rogerson in the Golden Age of LA Punk, 1979-1996 by J. Hunter Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Short but engaging -- this is a biog off-and-on again Circle Jerks bassists Roger R. This was certainly enough to get me to sign up for the publisher's newsletter. This overview of the punk rock career of the duplicitous junkie "Rogerson" is stitched together from quotes from bandmates, scenesters, family members, etc. In a way, this reminds me of some aspects of Dee Dee Ramone: bassist music director/composer brought low by his substance abuse demons.
