About the Item
4 color screen print. Signed by Shepard Fairey, Glen E. Friedman and Keith Morris.
As a founding member of Black Flag and Circle Jerks, songwriter and vocalist Keith Morris was at the forefront of the punk music scene in the South Bay.
In his new memoir, “My Damage: The Story of a Punk Rock Survivor,” Morris tells stories about growing up in Hermosa Beach, where his father was an aspiring jazz drummer who performed with bands at The Lighthouse Cafe and later owned a fishing tackle store on Pier Avenue. He also discusses the rough and tumble world of punk music, in which he is still heavily involved today.
Morris, who went to Pier Avenue Junior High and graduated from Mira Costa High School in 1973, will perform a live reading from his book at the Hermosa Beach Historical Society and Museum’s “Happy Hour with History,” at the Hermosa Beach Museum, Friday, May 10, at 6 p.m.
“Growing up in Hermosa Beach in the 60s and 70s, how could it not be like the greatest part of your adventure,” Morris said during a recent interview.
Morris was inspired to write his book by Brendan Mullen, best known for founding the short-lived underground punk club The Masque in Hollywood, where bands such as X and Germs got their starts. Morris ran into Mullen after leaving an art show near Culver City. He suggested he should write a book and that he would help Morris secure a book deal.
“I had already been writing stories for a book because I knew somewhere down the line I was going to reach out to somebody to piece these stories together and create a book,” Morris said.
But not long after, Mullen suffered a stroke and died suddenly at 60 years old.
“My first thought was, ‘There goes my book deal,’” recalled Morris. “I had just lost one of my best friends. That line of thinking was so beyond messed up …. it was ridiculous. There would be so many bands that would not be in existence if it weren’t for Brendan.”
So Morris put the book on the back-burner. Later, a booking agent for Pennywise and Brian Wilson suggested “it’s your turn” and he ended up with a book deal.
Morris founded Black Flag in 1976 with guitarist Greg Ginn, who attended Mira Costa High with his brother Ray Ginn.
“We certainly were not loved,” Morris said. “We were very far removed from the musical community.”
At the beginning, Black Flag made the rounds at backyard, basement and living room parties.
“We were doing what we wanted to do, we were playing what we wanted to play,” Morris said. “There was no master plan.”
The punk bands at the time made the Old Baptist Church on Manhattan Avenue their home. It was a club house for “kids who didn’t like their parents or authoritarian figures.”
In 1979, Morris left Black Flag. “All we were doing was rehearsing, we weren’t playing any shows… I came to the conclusion I was not having fun any more,” he said.
When he left the band, they only had 16 songs they could play.
“If you coughed, lit a cigarette, if you took a sip off a beer or went to the bathroom … you would miss our entire set,” Morris said.

Shepard Fairey
Expanding on the legacies of artists such as Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, Shepard Fairey’s practice disrupts the distinction between fine and commercial art.
A major artist of the street art movement, Fairey rose to prominence in the early 1990s through the dispersion of prints, posters, stickers and murals, related to his Obey Giant campaign, which yielded an international cultural phenomenon. Fairey’s iconic poster of President Barack Obama was adopted as the official emblem associated with the presidential campaign and encapsulates a number of recurring concerns in the artist’s work, including propaganda, portraiture and political power.
