Description

From Punk to MonkRay Cappo was a hardcore punk singer and pioneer of the straight edge movement living on the Lower East Side of New York City in the 80s, where his band Youth of Today played to packed clubs and touched thousands of people across the globe. But despite the accolades from fans, the popularity of his records, and the positivity hed brought to the punk music scene, none of this success gave Ray joy. He felt stagnant, and he yearned for something more.

Ray Cappo was a hardcore punk singer and pioneer of the straight-edge movement living on the Lower East Side of New York City in the ’80s, where his band Youth of Today played to packed clubs and touched thousands of people across the globe. But despite the accolades from fans, the popularity of his records, and the positivity he’d brought to the punk music scene, none of this success gave Ray joy. He felt stagnant, and he yearned for something more.

This, along with his father’s untimely death, led him to abruptly quit the band and buy a one-way ticket to India in pursuit of the answers to life’s great mysteries. Living as a monk in the sacred city of Vrindavan and traveling across the country on a series of train trips, Ray embraced the rich, spiritual culture he discovered there. As his unusual adventure unfolded, he encountered extraordinary characters, witnessed deep acts of devotion, and experienced profound moments of divine connection, leading to a radical transformation that was ego-crushing and blissful all at once.

Inspired to write music again, Ray returned to the US, where he and other monks founded Shelter, a band dedicated to spreading a message of faith, hope, and love.

Told with warmth, candor, and humor—and featuring a foreword by globally renowned musician Moby—this heartfelt memoir chronicles Ray’s emotional and spiritual journey from punk to monk and beyond.

HISTORICAL: Offers a unique glimpse into the punk and hardcore scene of the Lower East Side during the 80s and the birth of the straight-edge movement.

SPIRITUAL: Asks (and answers) deep questions about our relationship to the world around us and the living beings that populate it.

PERSONAL: Chronicles Ray’s spiritual journey in his own words, with warmth, candor, and humor.

Perfect for my son with EXTREMELY sensitive skin
Size: Size 5 (132 Count), Size: Size 5 (132 Count)
My son has extremely sensitive skin, and most diapers cause hives or a rash. We’ve tried countless brands and had eventually settled on Bambo Nature, but their prices increased significantly, so I started looking for a more affordable alternative. Although the product listing doesn’t clearly mention it, these diapers are absolutely latex-free, and that’s a huge deal for little ones like ours. Amazon should really make that more obvious in this listing, since latex-free diapers are a necessity for my son. I also found in my research that there was 3rd party testing that found no detectable PFAs in these, but even bambo nature had some detected. The best part? He has had zero reaction to these. No hives, no rash, nothing. On top of that, they’re adorable, highly absorbent, and cost about half as much as the brand we were previously using. I genuinely wish I had tried them sooner. For this price, I wouldn’t even care if Amazon Prime ads were printed on them. I also love the stretch in the tabs and the back waistband area. It’s the perfect amount of flexibility for my very active toddler without feeling flimsy. We have had zero leaks, even overnight. My son actually keeps looking down at them before getting dressed, like he notices and approves of the fun prints compared to his old plain diapers. For the price, quality, and the fact that they actually work for sensitive skin, these have been an excellent find. This is all we will use from now on.

Great Diapers
Size: Size 5 (33 Count)
These diapers have been a lifesaver for our family. They fit really well without being too tight and my daughter is comfortable. I love that they don’t sag easily and the stretchy sides help prevent leaks while still allowing my child to move around freely. The absorbency is impressive, especially during naps, and we’ve never had a blowout. Another huge plus is the price. It’s hard to find diapers that work this well without spending a fortune, but these are a great value for the quality. They hold up just as well as more expensive brands, making them perfect for everyday use. I would definitely recommend them to parents looking for dependable diapers that fit well, absorb great, and are budget friendly.

Great bang for your buck
Size: Size 1 (50 Count), Size: Size 1 (50 Count)
Gotta say this is a pretty good diaper for the price! Not as soft as your luxury name brands but still very soft. Great absorption, no leaks, moisture stripe works. I like that they're mostly plain, I never understood why diapers needed to be "cute." The adhesion tabs work well, even though I did waste a diaper accidentally ripping one off. x) As for negatives this diaper is narrower than all the other brands. Which is fine, it still fits my baby but I probably won't be buying these again unless im using them as an in between from nb to size 1

Comparable to Major Name Brands in price and quality
Size: Newborn (30 Count)
Good value for the price , comparable in value and quality of major name brands. Visually attractive and detailed product description on packaging. Newborn size package is very small and well packaged for easy storage. Diapers are made to fit comfortably to newborns body and manufactured to wick moisture into the diaper away from babies skin and so not to leak. They absorb a fairly good amount of liquid with no problems. The adhesive tabs stick well and do not come lose.
