The frontman for punk survivors Social Distortion, singer/guitarist Mike Ness was born April 3, 1962 in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Raised primarily in Orange County, California, he was kicked out of his parents' house at age 15 and spent the years which followed in and out of jail and experimenting with drugs; after forming Social D in 1979, Ness' struggles with addiction deepened, and after recording the now-classic Mommy's Little Monster in 1983, his self-destructive lifestyle (vividly captured in the 1985 documentary Another State of Mind) nearly broke up the band. After getting clean and sober, Ness reconvened Social D for 1988's rootsy Prison Bound, followed in 1990 by the group's self-titled major-label debut, which launched the hit "Ball and Chain." After 1992's Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, however, the band went on an extended hiatus, not resurfacing until White Light, White Heat, White Trash four years later. In 1999, Ness made his solo debut with Cheating at Solitaire. A covers collection, Under the Influences, followed later that same year

Rat Fink just gave you 2 out of 11...that's probably all you'll find around here.

some of that info would be impossible to find even with famous people who have had books written about them

I have to do this assignment for my English class and we have to do a "Biographical Scrapbook". Of course, I'm doing mine on Mike Ness and I was hoping that you guys could help and give me some information. We have 7 things we have to do for this assignment and 1 of them is a birth certificate. If anybody could give me some answers to the following questions it'd be really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

1x Full Name? (I need his middle name)
2x Place of Birth?
3x Name of Father? (Mike's Dad)
4x Name of Mother? Including Maiden Name... (Mike's Mom)
5x Father's Age when Mike was Born?
6x Mother's Age when Mike was Born?
7x Place of Birth of Mike's Dad?
8x Place of Birth of Mike's Mom?
9x Address of Family when Mike was Born?
10x Country in which Mike was Born? (I can kinda assume on that one...)
11x Name of Birth Hospital?

These questions are really hard, but any information you guys could give me would be great. Thanks a lot.

Why not just make it up? Like a normal high school English teacher even knows who Mike Ness is... wing it, that's the best you'll get.
