MUSIC: The Damned Things \/ Ironiclast<\/i> <\/b>\u2013 An all-star band of sorts, The Damned Things features 2\/5 of Anthrax, 2\/4 of Fall Out Boy, and 2\/5 of Every Time I Die. Somewhere between arena rock,\u00a0 metal and Misfits-inspired punk, The Damned Things are dark yet heavy on hooks and riffs. Hopefully this is not just a \u201cside project\u201d and there are more albums to come.

Many people will also know him from The Drew Carey Show<\/i> and as writer, director and star of films like Saving Grace<\/i> and The Big Tease<\/i>. But few Americans are likely to know about Ferguson’s decades of self-destructive behavior as a drummer in a punk rock band or as successful U.K. Comic Bing Hitler. This memoir is both hilarious and meaningful, and at many points both things at once.
