Manage episode 425612977 series 3563467
John Joseph first rose to prominence as the singer for legendary New York hardcore band the Cro-Mags. He's since become a published author, activist, Ironman athlete and outspoken advocate for thinking for yourself and questioning authority. His new book, "Destroying Monsters" shares the harrowing tale of his family's relationship with addiction and how he and other prominent individuals maintain their sobriety. In this wide-ranging discussion we explore the book, addiction, sobriety, the drug-soaked world of 1970s NYC punk rock, and his role in what Rolling Stone called The Greatest Moment in Rock and Roll History (Fear's slam-dancing moshpit on Saturday Night Live).
