When a former Green Day roadie reunites with the group, the result is a moral reckoning that eviscerates the music business, both underground and mainstream. It’s also a tender travelogue about finding common ground while exploring new roads with old friends. One need not be a fan of the band to enjoy this rollercoaster journey through Asia and its exploration of very different ideas of success.
Praise
“Aaron Cometbus is a punk rock literary institution”
—Thrasher
“Equally probing discussions of freight train-hopping and nonprofit incorporation”
—New York Times
