Had a very interesting encounter last night at one of the local watering holes. Thought you might like to hear about it…
I met a Japanese punk rocker and his girlfriend and you couldn’t image two greater sets of opposites. We spoke completely different languages… and I’m not talking about English and Japanese, because he spoke [...]
