This perfectly narrated team of stories, with a guaranteed Velours audio, is completely amongst virtue. Love, sex in addition to rock- as well as- roll being a disobedience versus moms and dads is a hairless- dealt with lie.

I indicate, this band played in ’71 in addition to played to number of hippies, in addition to did the song “I’m Straight”?!!
