In his debut book, one of hard rock’s few gay icons does take a no-holds-barred approach to telling the story of his upbringing in Southern California and, in particular, life on the artsy fringes of 1980s San Francisco.
In ‘The Royal We,’ Faith No More Co-Founder Tells All — But Skips His Band
Roddy Bottum’s writing about queerness and addiction shines, but he holds back when it comes to his music career.
