When Alan Schultz met David Dictor as a freshman at the University of
Tampa in 1973, it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. After
some highly questionable youthful hijinks, they would meet up again
eight years later in Austin, Texas, to form the punk bank that would
become known as MDC, Millions of Dead Cops. In this scorching memoir,
written behind bars in San Quentin while serving time for drug dealing,
the drummer known as "Al Schvitz" recounts, with both humor and horror,
MDC's triumphs and disappointments while narrating the nonstop
challenges of being incarcerated in California's most infamous prison.
After more than 40 years of friendship, Al Schvitz and Dave Dictor
continue to bring the punk message of social justice throughout the
world, spreading their chant of "No Trump! No KKK! No Fascist USA!" as
founding members of MDC.
