'Deflowered: My Life in Pansy Division' is Jon Ginoli's journey of self-discovery, musical passion, and drive to become the founding member of Pansy Division, the first out and proud queer core punk rock band to hit the semi-big time. Set against the changing decades of music, we follow the band from their inception in San Francisco, to their search for a music label and a permanent drummer to their current status as indie rock icons. We see the highs--touring with Green Day--and the lows--homophobic fans--of striving for acceptance and success in the world of rock. Featuring behind-the-scenes photographs and replete with the requisite tales of sex, drugs, groupies, band fights and label battles, this rollicking memoir is also an impassioned account of staying true to the artistic vision of queer rock'n'roll.Author Jon Ginoli will be doing booksignings on April 29 at 7:30 p.m. at Tattered Cover, 1628 16th Street (the LoDo store) and on April 30 at 7 p.m. at Barnes & Noble, 2915 Pearl St. in Boulder.
