Growing up in Los Angeles

Roddy Bottum is a musician most known for the bands Faith No More and Imperial Teen. His detailed new memoir, The Royal We, is out now. We chat about The Dick Dock in Provincetown, getting in early on Apple stock, Manhattan real estate, American Apparel briefs, Kim K's brain scans, the heyday of San Francisco, and early bike messenger culture, heroin, his favorite cruising spots in Los Angeles, why everyone had dreads back then, cantaloupes in the microwave, and we pry some Courtney Love stories out of him.
