The Pubs And The Clubs And The Drugs And The Tubs We Shared Together
This one’s for people in a spot like I once was in re: The Libertines, meaning that you pretty much know them as that band with that guy who gets in so much trouble that he makes the American tabloids despote the fact that not many in America really know what he does, but it [...]
