Mike Croft (who passed away recently) originally wrote this zine in 1998 and then later re-wrote it in 2001 (in my house, even). It collects negative press clippings about Elvis, a tale of dental mishaps, interviews with Propagandhi, Your Mother, and The UFOs, high school reflections on drugs and straight edge, an article about deaths at intervention camps for rebellious teens and abuses that go on there, comics about dreams, the absurdity of sports, "Even Ronald McDonald was a vegetarian", and a review of a failed show and trip to the record store (and successful passing of money to a pan-handler). This zine is well written, despite what you might think, and highly entertaining. If you throw in the mix that it was written by a high school sophomore, it's fairly mind-blowing. Mike passed away in 2006 and his friends are making a conscious effort to put his writing back in print and eventually publish a book of his work since he was such a talented writer and it was so important to him.
