The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Patty Schemel, Drummer of Rock Band Hole. Patty Schemel became one of the first female drummers to make it big in the world of rock and was a sort-of second mother to Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain's daughter when she was little. She discusses this in Hit So Hard: A Memoir as well as discovering the allure of the drums; figuring out you're gay and determining who to tell and how to tell them; life as a homeless person in Los Angeles; and addiction and recovery, told in an unsparingly honest and heartbreakingly hopeful way (it took her 20+ tries to get clean). “Patty Schemel has lived a million lives and come out the other side. An amazing story, amazing book.”—Mark Lanegan, musician and author of I Am the Wolf “Often harrowing, frequently heartrending, and always insightful, Hit So Hard is far more than rock myth-making or a redemption story. In looking back unflinchingly at the literal highs and crushing lows of her life, Schemel's yielded a complex, compellingly readable memoir that possesses a truth and humanity few books of its kind ever truly capture.”—Bob Mehr, New York Times bestselling author of Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements
