Morris, who was a founding member and vocalist of Black Flag and later co-founded the Circle Jerks in 1979, delves into all aspects of his life story, including the hard partying, the band relationships and the attempts to navigate the music industry. “A number of people encouraged me to work on a book,” Doe said.
