Cherry Bomb – The Runaways

25 July 2017

It’s one of those songs I put on when I feel like maybe, just maybe, all of the annoying components of everyday life, briefly summed up by the task of struggling to remain safe and sane while trying to get enough sleep and tick off enough gigs to earn the dollar, don’t really matter in the end.

7 July 2017
