Review of The Other F Word (2011) by Jason H — 16 Mar 2014

It wasn't exactly what I expected I thought there would be more anecdotal exchanges between punk rock dad & child. I also thought it was too heavy on following Pennywise's frontman Jim Lindberg.

However in spite of this it is definitely worth the watch and he was the one I felt the most empathy for as the contrast for him appears to be great. It takes you inside these men's dilemma of how to age in the punk rock scene into fatherhood and provide for your family.

I was equally bummed for most of these mens childhood as they contrasted how they were going to be different than their parents. Highlights for me were Ron Reyes of Blackflag, Tim Mcllrath of Rise Against, and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers although he's the only one that I see wouldn't have to give up his career to raise a family.

He's actually on the other side of the journey in my opinion with an adult daughter. "I didn't give her life she gave me life." - Flea.
