Diane says: “Doc about middle-aged punk rockers becoming ‘F’athers. Snippets of interviews about men teaching street-crossing rules to their kids after a career of being anti-authority, being accepted by other preschool parents despite all those nasty tattoos, blaming their parents for the bad childhoods that made them find comfort in the punk band of brothers, the necessity of being trashed for every show even now….
“But there are many other elements that would apply to other musicians–life on the road when you’re not 20 anymore, changes in the industry–and to non-musicians, like finding yourself driving a van in a bourgeois life. The main arc is Jim Lindberg touring with his band Pennywise 270 days in a year–away from his three daughters–and reaching his breaking point.
“Hardly anything from the wives. Too long, wanders. 3 cats”
