Mike Edison Author

Mike Edison is the former editor and publisher of the infamous cannabis magazine High Times. His books include the celebrated memoir I Have Fun Everywhere I Go, and the sprawling social history of sex and free speech on the newsstand, Dirty! Dirty! Dirty! Edison is also a noted musician who spent much of the 1980s and 90s seeing the world from behind a drum set, opening for bands as diverse as Sonic Youth, Sound Garden, and the Ramones. He has written extensive liner notes for, among others, Iggy Pop, and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. He is proof positive that one can be both edgy and erudite, lowbrow and literate, and take joy in the unbridled pleasures of the id without sacrificing the higher mind. (PopMatters.com). Edison lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Please visit him at www.mikeedison.com.
