Fat Mike's Home Street Home

I know this may not be standard fair for most of you.  This is a musical primarily written by FAT MIKE who is the leader of punk rock band NOFX.  Its content is about Homeless street punks, abuse, sex-trade and drugs.  If you are easily offended THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU. Then again, maybe it will be good for you also.  (some of you may have seen me post this on FB)

Here is a article:
Why would you do a punk-rock musical?
FAT MIKE: Don't assume it's a punk-rock musical. It's a musical. There are a few punk songs in it, but the majority of the songs are not punk songs. It's a musical about stuff that's never been talked about onstage. I've been seeing musicals since I was a teenager and have always kept up with them and liked them—except the part where they're not that good. The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Hedwig [And The Angry Inch] are the only musicals where it's all good, and most musicals don't have that—almost inherently they don't have all good songs. That's what my goal was: to make a musical about something that no one's ever seen before. It's going to touch people, and it has all good songs.

The thing that struck me the most about the soundtrack is how touching it really is. I kind of went into it assuming it was going to be kinda silly or crazy, but there are a few songs on there where I was actually almost tearing up.
Live, there's not a dry eye in the house. Also, the record is a little misleading because we put some songs on it that aren't in the musical. The punk songs were just becoming a little distracting; the more story-driven songs and the sadder songs were the ones that are in the musical. It's a black comedy, but the silly songs didn't make it [onto the soundtrack].

How much, if any, of this is based on your own experiences?
A lot of it, and a lot of it is [based on] my fiancée’s, Soma Snakeoil [pictured center], and those of the people we are around. I can't tell you exact people, but one of the singers in the show was raped by her uncle for many years, and told us, "I still see him at family functions, he used to rape me all the time, and I never told anybody and I just fucking deal with it, because I'm not going to let that asshole dictate how I live my life." And that's one of the main themes of the show: All these homeless kids were all fucked one way or the other, and they were all treated super-badly, but they're not going to let that mold their lives. They're going to choose how they want to live.
