It's the story of the drummer from Blink-182 in his own words, including that lovely incident where his rented private jet caught on fire.
After reading this book, I can't say I like Mr. Barker anymore. Yes, he worked very hard to get where he is, but he was kind of a jerk along the way. I would say he battled pills but he really just took as many as he could until he stopped. He went through women like they were kleenex. Openly embraced the thug life style. Thought it was okay to promote his albums and clothing lines by plastering stickers all over cities.
Nothing he said made me like him. One interesting thing about the book was that he got friends and families to share their views of how events happened. It would have been more effective if the views were dissenting at all. With the exception of his ex-wife, Shanna, they pretty much bow to the cult of Travis.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
