Publisher's Synopsis
In June 1980, 19-year-old James McDonnell (known as Slim Jim Phantom) boarded a plane to the UK with his childhood friends and bandmates Brian Setzer and Lee Rocker. In less than a year, they went from being homeless, hungry and living in punk rock squats to the toast of the London music scene. This memoir recounts not just the Stray Cats' rise but a life spent in the upper echelon of rock 'n' roll stardom.
