    About this audiobook

    The long-awaited, full-force autobiography of American punk music hero, Bob Mould



    Bob Mould stormed into America's punk rock scene in 1979, when clubs across the country were filling with kids dressed in black leather and torn denim, packing in to see bands like the Ramones, Black Flag, and the Dead Kennedys. Hardcore punk was a riot of jackhammer rhythms, blistering tempos, and bottomless aggression. And at its center, a new band out of Minnesota called Hüsker Dü was bashing out songs and touring the country on no money, driven by the inspiration of guitarist and vocalist Bob Mould. Their music roused a generation.



    From the start, Mould wanted to make Hüsker Dü the greatest band in the world - faster and louder than the hardcore standard, but with melody and emotional depth. In SEE A LITTLE LIGHT, Mould finally tells the story of how the anger and passion of the early hardcore scene blended with his own formidable musicianship and irrepressible drive to produce some of the most important and influential music of the late 20th century.



    For the first time, Mould tells his dramatic story, opening up to describe life inside that furnace and beyond. Revealing the struggles with his own homosexuality, the complexities of his intimate relationships, as well as his own drug and alcohol addiction, Mould takes us on a whirlwind ride through achieving sobriety, his acclaimed solo career, creating the hit band Sugar, a surprising detour into the world of pro wrestling, and most of all, finally finding his place in the world.



    A classic story of individualism and persistence, Mould's autobiography is an open account of the rich history of one of the most revered figures of punk, whose driving force altered the shape of American music.

      I had an up and down relationship with this book. While at times I struggled with the narrative and the flow, the voice was authentic and my struggle was parallel with Mould's own struggle. I had to finish it and I couldn't put it down. It fills in a lot of other gaps in musical history, too.
    • 2/5
      Anyone hoping for an unearthing of long lost yarns about Husker Dü, SST legal documents, or remembrances of blinding nights at the leather bar with Rollins, will be sorely disappointed with Bob Mould's foray into the world of rock autobiographies. See A Little Light focuses on two main areas: a checklist of Mould's successes in music, which were all carried out by Bob Mould and no one else. And a look at his lack of success in love. Admittedly, as a music fan, I came to the book wanting a copious amount of thoughts and insight into what it was like to write songs such "Celebrated Summer" or "Changes", and to play in a band such as Husker Du. Unfortunately Mould is more focused on patting himself on the back while also screaming, "Why doesn't anyone love me?" Someone should give him Billy Corgan's number.
    • 4/5
      An amazing look at Bob Mould, the founder of Husker Du and Sugar. The musical journey this man has taken amazed me, just the range he has. Musically brilliant. I admit to not being familiar with Husker Du, well, not much. What I found fascinating was his personal journey. From an angry gay (but not really closeted and not really out or accepting of himself) punk rocker to the man who found himself in the bear community. Every gay man should read this, every pflag member should read this also. Just a great story of a musical genius' life.Also, very interesting to see how tight knit the music community is. He talks about bands before they were big...just a compelling read.
    • 4/5
      Overall, I enjoyed the book. The history of his bands (Hüsker Dü & Sugar) his solo music career, and his short career backstage with professional wrestling were all done very well. Personally, I could have done without some of the details of his sex life, though that has been an important part of who he is, so I can't fault him for talking about it.
