CGiii Comment

Aaah the sweet stink of youth - and now they have all grown up and they have less to say now than they did then.

Hardcore...the American version of punk.

As a documentary, it is just terribly dull...a multitude of talking heads going on and on and on...about, nothing special. Now or then.
