As the lead signer of punk band Pennywise, Jim Lindberg spends his evenings screaming to thousands of moshing kids to screw authority, and then goes home and tries to maintain some sense of authority over his young three daughters. Every father will be able to relate to Lindbergs hilarious parenting misadventures and struggle to figure out how to encourage his kids to seek their own answers, but still respect him.

Jim Lindberg is a Punk Rock Dad. When he drives his kids to school in the morning, they listen to the Ramones, the Clash, or the Descendents and that''s it. He goes to all the soccer games, dance rehearsals, and piano recitals, but when he feels the need, he goes into the slam pit at punk shows and comes home bruised and beaten--somehow feeling strangely better. While the other dads dye their hair brown to cover the gray, Jim occasionally dyes his blue or green. He pays his taxes, serves jury duty, votes in all major elections, and reserves the right to believe that there''s a vast Right Wing Conspiracy--and that the head of the P.T.A. is possibly in on it. He is a Punk Rock Dad.

Jim Lindberg is proof positive that childrearing can take the most recalcitrant punk and catapult him in to adulthood.
