Summary of Mark Lanegan's Sing Backwards and Weep

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was born in 1964, and I was raised by my mother. She was a teacher, and she couldn't control me. She always made me feel bad about myself. My father couldn't control me either, and he often projected a deep, quiet sadness around him. #2 I was a petty thief in junior high. I would ask to use the restroom between classes, then make my way through the school, down to the gym locker room, and rifle through the pockets of the students there.
I stole whatever was there. #3 I had a difficult childhood, and my father spent little time parenting me. I was a compulsive gambler, a fledgling alcoholic, a thief, and a porno fiend. I hid my weed and smoking apparatus in the doghouse under our carport. #4 I had to start toughening up, which meant smartening up. I wasn't talking about fighting, but I was tired of paying for my broken hands.
I needed to be stronger and smarter than I was.
