Tough Luck Idiot: Memories of a Flipass Soul by Nik Graveson

Nik Graveson’s rock ‘n roll ride as a musician and poet leads him into the underbelly of a life lived in the wreckage and back again in Tough Luck Idiot: Memories of a Flipass Soul. From the writer’s teenage years as he joins a band in ‘Noweheresville’ and experiments with drugs under the bleachers, to the obligatory musician’s pilgrimage to 90s Los Angeles, memories are laid bare in a brutally honest Molotov cocktail of a memoir. The story is hurled straight at the reader with a wry humor that makes it hard to resist Graveson’s gritty coming of age fable for any would-be rock star.
