In this episode 256, we visit with Brett Marie, author of “The Upsetter Blog,” the story of an unknown rock band on their journey to fame, documented by an aging writer on their months-long tour.

Henry Barclay, along with his adult son Patrick, join The Flak Jackets as they go on tour across the US, documenting the increasingly erratic and volatile behavior of the band’s enigmatic lead singer, Jack Hackett, while fighting his feelings for Jack’s girlfriend, Wendy.

Orlando Ortega-Medina, author of Jerusalem Ablaze, had this to say about the book, “Brett Marie's exhilarating debut is at once a loving homage to music told in the most lyrical of prose and a cautionary tale that reminds us that before a phoenix can rise, it must first crash and burn. I couldn't put it down.”
