John Joseph first rose to prominence as the singer for legendary New York hardcore band the Cro-Mags. He's since become a published author, activist, Ironman athlete and outspoken advocate for thinking for yourself and questioning authority.

In this wide-ranging discussion we explore the book, addiction, sobriety, the drug-soaked world of 1970s NYC punk rock, and his role in what Rolling Stone called The Greatest Moment in Rock and Roll History (Fear's slam-dancing moshpit on Saturday Night Live).
