006 - Harley Flanagan Interview

Ever wondered how Harley Flanagan’s chaotic upbringing shaped his hardcore spirit?

In Episode 006 of CJ Says, Harley shares how his wild childhood fuelled his passion for music and community - from his misspent youth running loose on the mean streets of NYC, to his introduction to skinhead culture in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to making music that was louder than the noise inside his head, it’s all part of his survival story…

This episode explores how punk rock was more than just a genre; it was a lifeline for all those who felt lost & alone in a world full of mayhem & trauma. It gave a voice to the voiceless and a home to all those who didn't fit in.

Harley strongly believes that art and music can save us, and his journey is a testament to that. Every note played is a reminder that we can rise above our circumstances!!!

The circumstances and scenarios of Harley’s existence read like something out of a modern-day fairytale, with all of the nightmarish elements to boot. His tale is incredible, and he’s here to tell it in all its devastating scope. Expect plenty of amazing Ramones’ stories, too.

If you want to hear the second half of this interview, where we go even deeper into Harley’s journey from chaos to contentment, head over to www.patreon.com/cjsays - you’ll find all of our exclusive bonus content there.

Thank you to Harley for sharing his story so openly. We hope you find it inspiring & enlightening.

Keep that PMA!!!
