Great idea for discussion. I read a lot, but I'd suggest you check out God, Forgive These Bastards by Rob Morton http://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/books/3863/ It's a nice, small book that has a very nice punk jazz album of the same name that accompanies it. http://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/album/god-forgive-these-bastards-songs-from-the-forgotten-life-of-henry-turner-2012 My personal favorite song is http://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/track/i-love-you-like-an-alcoholic But, well, though I hate the expression "It's all good!"
