When Fun Lovin' Criminals released their debut album Come Find Yourself in 1996, its fusion of hip-hop, funk, blues, and rock quickly became one of the most iconic and influential records of the decade. Now, in this fascinating memoir, frontman Huey Morgan describes his remarkable journey from journeyman to rock star.

This is a story that begins in the early 1990s with a young man who, after returning to New York City from his time as a United States Marine, is struggling to cope with normal life. Huey begins his quest to become a rock star only to be sidetracked by his association with the New York criminal underworld. But as his band begins to take off, can he extract himself before his chance of stardom goes begging?

Written in Huey's indomitable and distinctive style, this is a book that brings the grit and glamour of 90s New York brilliantly to life.
