Someone brought the first Crüe record to school and it scared me.

The New York Dolls comparison is spot on. Now I find myself wondering what Morrissey thought of Mötley Crüe…

First of all, the part in the book about the girl and the phone (!!!), and second, I completely forgot about Tommy Goes to College so thanks for the reminder (I think).

I didn't expect to enjoy this episode so much, but it's a damn good time as always. Listening to your opening, I was thinking how I couldn't remember what Nikki Sixx looked like, so did a little of the google and holy hell. HOW did this man escape my Gr. 7, 1989 crushing when Poison and GnR were in rotation, with a face as Sassy-cover worthy as Evan Dando (though perhaps a bit less feminist-aligned...). In other news, I gazed too long at Tommy's hairy legs swathed in saggy ripped fishnets and dirty sneakers in pic above and THAT ladyboner has died. RIP.
