Melanie Haupt reviews my book in Friday’s edition.

Body Piercing Saved My Life officially came out yesterday (yes, I realize it’s been in stores for much longer, but apparently this is how the publishing industry works), and I have a bunch of stuff happening in the next few days. It’s all subject to change the farther we get from today, but here’s what we’re looking at:

• Saturday, June 3, at 8 p.m., I’ll be on John Kasich’s Heartland show on Fox News
• Monday, June 5, at 2 p.m., I’ll be on WNYC’s Soundcheck program, the chief engineer of which is none other than Rob Christiansen
• Thursday, June 8, at 11 a.m. I’ll be on NPR’s On Point. The latter may be fun because I think you can call in and try to rattle me.

A conversation between Lisa Carver and me, followed by some wacky comments.

Toronto Eye Weekly contributor Brian Joseph Davis insightfully dismisses all of Christian music in this 125-word précis of my book.

You think you rock? You have nothing on kids who can stage-dive assured with the knowledge that they’re going to heaven, where the music will be really shitty for all eternity and that’s apparently OK.
