Punk Rock Dad - by Jim Lindberg (Paperback)

About the Book

Punk rock star Lindberg shares his laugh-out-loud stories on raising three daughters while trying to stay true to his inner adolescent. This book shows those parents who still have a rebellious spirit how to raise independent and respectful children.

From the Back Cover

Jim Lindberg is a Punk Rock Dad. When he drives his kids to school in the morning, they listen to the Ramones, the Clash, or the Descendents and that's it. He goes to all the soccer games, dance rehearsals, and piano recitals, but when he feels the need, he goes into the slam pit at punk shows and comes home bruised and beaten--somehow feeling strangely better. While the other dads dye their hair brown to cover the gray, Jim occasionally dyes his blue or green. He pays his taxes, serves jury duty, votes in all major elections, and reserves the right to believe that there's a vast Right Wing Conspiracy--and that the head of the P.T.A. is possibly in on it. He is a Punk Rock Dad.
