Introduction

Jason Green was the senior editor of Pitchfork, popular online publication covering indie rock bands. He and his wife Stacy were in those first tumultuous early years of parenting when your life gets all of a sudden turned entirely upside down by an infant. In my youngest child, Amos was in the hospital living his first 30 days off machines. His chest cut wide open because his heart had not been assembled correctly in the womb. When I was living in the limbo of those days, I was dozing off at night reading Jason's memoir, a potentially a advised decision.
