The wildly entertaining memoir from lead singer and songwriter of Twisted Sister--revealing the real stories behind the crazy makeup, the big hair, and badass hits like "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock." As lead singer and songwriter of Twisted Sister, Dee Snider worked as hard as he played, avoided the debauched lifestyle that has destroyed lesser rockers, and survived the music industry's fickle fortunes with his priorities and sense of humor intact. Now, he shares his journey from every parent's worst nightmare to Renaissance man--with an impressive resume that, along with being rock royalty, includes Broadway performer, film actor, reality television star, radio host, and author of a teenage survival guide that is required reading in Russia!--in this "honest and entertaining memoir" (Publishers Weekly). Dee tells the real stories behind the crazy makeup, the big hair, and badass hits like "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock." He takes you through good times, personal struggles, and public battles--such as being slapped with a Parental Advisory warning label by Tipper Gore and the Parents Music Resource Center, a fight that led him to testify before Congress with Frank Zappa. Throughout his twisted career, Snider stayed strong and focused, and did it all for his wife, four kids, and millions of "SMF" (Sick Mother F******) fans.
