Recenzii
"Peligro would get lots of shit from his black friends for liking White people's music—but White people did not want him in their bands. Punk was a great outlet for him. I first saw him in a lost band, SSI—a drummer with a shit-eating grin who could sing like Little Richard." —Jello Biafra
“Peligro’s story is one of those that falls into that weird netherworld that falls between funny and terrifying, where the matter-of-factness of the author blunts the jaw-dropping content of his tale.” — Johnny Angel Wendell
