In episode 109 of Books and Booze we bring you Patrick O'Neil - author of GUN, NEEDLE, SPOON - a memoir about robbing banks, touring with punk bands, and junk. OBVIOUSLY we talk about robbing banks, how could you have a bank robber on the show and NOT talk about robbing banks? You couldn't. We get serious about addiction and recovery, we talk about a little known truck stop Patrick and Renee have in common, and we relive Patrick's days as a roadie in punk rock's heyday. We also talk about Patrick's documentaries about women punk rockers and women pro-skaters. This is another jam-packed episode full of fun, insight, and just enough weirdness.(Scroll to bottom for streaming audio)
