What is the author's perspective in the memoir, Broken Summers?

Rollins' point of view is informed by hardcore punk rock. He values loud, hard, technically intense music, which makes him feel organized inside, galvanized, and motivated. Rollins was the fourth singer for Black Flag, and he seems to be sensitive to the fact that he had not created the Black Flag songs themselves, but he knows that he is the most intense singer who has ever come to these songs, and he is reassured by the fans' letters, which he includes, comparing him favorably to Greg Ginn, one of the founders of Black Flag.
