Content Warnings

Sex, death, rock and roll, skinheads, addiction, parent death, having a baby with your BFFs behind your partner's back, and some cultural issues well addressed by others. We talk a lot about how on the occasion of the 30th Anniversary of publication, it would be a great time to address how things have changed and what would be different nowadays.
