	Drugs Are Nice / By Lisa Crystal Carver (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Life certainly dealt Carver her share of bad cards, not the least of which was an absent, narcotics-dealing father who admitted to her when she was 16 that he had committed more than one murder in the line of duty.
		With that as her guiding principle, Carver plunges down a path that, if not for some innate instinct for self-preser?vation-and a dose of luck-might have led to early death or institutionalization.
		Carver confesses all but never apologizes for, and rarely seems to regret, any of her questionable choices, which include running away to Paris at 19 to marry the much older, and even more unstable, French performance artist Jean-Louis Costes, then spending a season fucking strangers for money in a U.S. "massage parlour".

	Disturbing behavior - The Boston Globe
		Lisa Crystal Carver has been a lot of things in her 36 years.
		In her book, Carver describes diving into topics that made her feel uncomfortable when she was writing, because she knew she was getting to the marrow of important moments in her life.
		Carver says she hopes her story can help other parents in similar situations and help make her son's life easier by raising public awareness about the condition.

	Lisa Carver, Dancing Queen: The Lusty Adventures of Lisa Crystal Carver (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		For a long time in the early '90s, Lisa Carver wrote a zine (a homemade, hand-produced magazine) called Rollerderby that won her a lot of admiration for her frank, funny discussions of everything from fashion mavens to politics.
		From there, Carver moves into the realm of pre-teen lust and the Marquis de Sade, Harlequin romances and masturbatory fantasies about Soviet leaders.
		If it wasn't for the middle of the book, I could recommend it wholeheartedly, but as it is, I feel that Carver has some work to do before she moves from the realm of Dancing Princess to true Dancing Queen.

	PopMatters Books Review \| Bookmarks: Brief reviews of new and overlooked books
		Lisa Carver is the girl your mother warned you to stay away from, the girl always caught smoking in the bathrooms at school.
		Lisa's son, Wolfgang, who -- ironically, in the light of his father's Aryan Nation politics -- is born with a chromosomal deletion, and Carver is strongly aware that, despite all her time and effort, he may still end up in an institution.
		Carver remains bravely proud of her odd, wild, self-destructive younger self, her experiences with sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, while managing to be self-reflective, even analytical.

	One Good Thing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Creator of Suckdog, a band created by Carver and her high school BFF Rachel to impress the notorious GG Allin, Carver was one of the leaders of the post-punk movement, which Carver chronicles while weaving in and out of relationships with various emotionally unhealthy men.
		Carver need not worry, however, as she was set upon by members of the Church of Satan at one of her book signings in California and was beaten by them for publishing salacious rumors about Satanic church founder Anton LeVey.
		Carver discusses the situation on her blog, and she is again attacked by Satanists.

		Lisa Crystal Carver is a fearless cultural adventurer, an endlessly optimistic raconteur who’s always followed her own idiosyncratic path —ever since the fateful day she first took the stage at age seventeen as leader of the infamous anarcho-performance troupe Suckdog.

	Willamette Week Online \| Culture \| PREVIEW \| Post-Punk 101 • Lisa "Suckdog" Carver gives readers a crotch-eye view ...
		Born in New Hampshire in 1968 to a sickly mother and a criminal dad, Lisa might've turned out normal except for one thing: At age 15 she spent almost a year in the emotional boot camp that was her father's place back east.
		Lisa and fellow high-school renegade Rachel Johnson recorded 23 unsuccessful attempts to cover "Wild Thing," mostly giggles and cussing, and sent the tape to gross-out rocker GG Allin.
		These days Carver writes as a sex diarist for Nerve.com, a gig that has spawned recent columns like "I was a teenage prostitute" and an essay about the frustration of being with a man who wouldn't have sex with her while she was pregnant.

		Carver’s elegant conclusions about herself and the world compel the reader toward the destination even though the main character could be doomed.
		His implied violence becomes an obsession for Lisa, one that she continues to revisit over the course of her first marriage to Jean Louis Costes and her relationship with Boyd Rice, the father of her first child.
		What sets Lisa apart from the typical bad-childhood- turned-punk-artist cliché is that unlike what the title suggests, Carver does not use the lifestyle to escape life.

	The Austin Chronicle Arts: Prophet for Our Times
		While Carver recently wrote in her Nerve.com sex diary that she is buying a house and "becoming her enemies," in fact she has been married nearly all of her adult life.
		Carver's long, hard search for what people are really like and her preference for interesting times over good times gives her a certain authority.
		Carver's Puritan work ethic and penchant for responsibility blend uncommonly with her taste for chaos: "I guess I just like weirdos, but I think I have one foot in actually being a weirdo and one foot in just being a businesswoman and being able to use it sanely.

	Powell's Books - Drugs Are Nice: A Post-Punk Memoir by Lisa Crystal Carver
		She recounts how her band Suckdog was born in 1987 and the wild events that followed: leaving small-town New Hampshire to tour Europe at 18, becoming a teen publisher of fanzines, a teen bride, and a teen prostitute.
		With lasting lightness and surprising gravity, Drugs Are Nice is a definitive account of the generation that wanted to break every rule, but also a story of an artist and a mother becoming an adult on her own terms.
		Carver slides into a chirpy concluding regeneration, while the overall ride of this iconoclast is surprisingly tame.

	[No title]
		Lisa Carver’s memoir Drugs Are Nice: A Post-Punk Memoir is too disturbing, able to disgust and intrigue at the same time.
		Carver, the former publisher of early-’90s zine Rollerderby and former Nerve.com columnist, regurgitates the nitty-gritty of her life on these pages, and that story is freakishly interesting.
		Voyeurism is a strange American habit, and Carver takes advantage of it, baiting you in with her schizophrenic prose, which moves at a dizzying pace, cutting her frenzied narrative with introspective, honest proclamations.

	Drugs Are Nice: A Post-Punk Memoir by Lisa Crystal Carver : Book
		Lisa Carver is a wonderful author and everything else she is. This is my favorite work of hers and is so candid and funny, even when she isn't meaning to be.
		After going on Lisa's journey with her, I didn't really think it was necessary for Lisa to try to explain her behavior or justify her choices so much.
		Certain observations by Lisa are dead on, making the reader why things go wrong in other parts of her life.

		Lisa Carver is a wild child, a woman born to chase the wind, laughing maniacally while caught in the tornado swirl, a woman to whom the easy way is the pathetically timorous route of the rubber spined cephalopod.
		From the perspective of Lisa Carver, fearless undaunted adventure seeker, a danger dame without pause, her certitude is that the only earth the meek shall inherit is that beneath their fingernails.
		She’s fuckin’ nuts!” It is from this point that Lisa Carver becomes the embodiment of pure bohemian bedlam as she snaps the chains, breaks the mold, and forms a band which will eventually record and release the album Drugs Are Nice, a towering Punk Rock anthem in mid 1980’s Regan America.

	bookmunch - online book reviews
		Carver sails through the narration of her life story in the same way she sailed through her life: brazenly unabashed and with a “whatever” attitude.
		Carver will make you smile with her recollections, most certainly, but the story moves quickly and I found myself drifting off in some parts and, much to my own chagrin, even losing the plot and forgetting who certain characters are.
		Carver invoked genuine awe and, after reading her story reconstituted in its deadpan, matter-of-fact style, there is still more interesting stuff to learn about her from her uplifting and cheerfully inspirational closing chapters.

		But while the DVD and book contain some candid moments that a less exhibitionistic artist might not want to bring to light, Carver delights in pushing both her own boundaries and her audience's preconceptions and comfort zones.
		The first is her tumultuous second marriage to musician Boyd Rice, a contentious figure often accused of having neo-Nazi leanings, whom Carver describes in her new book as an abusive alcoholic while she was married to him.
		Carver is used to people addressing their writing and their confessions to her.
