>>130565742hi JD I don't think here is the best place to shill your book
>>130565819better them than imbred..
>>130565742Today? It's all a bunch of nu males in N64 logo T-shirts who play wallpaper indie and are vegans who drink Perrier water. Also they only have sex with women older than 30 after obtaining written consent first.
so is the book worth a shit? well written? insightful or revealing in a unique manner?i quite enjoyed these sorts of things as a teenage rock fan but i feel the mythos around the hollywood/LA rock stuff is an extremely tired and boring boomer-ish topic now- specifically in the media that’s come out in the past decade
