COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Very strange submitted by mandevil on November 12, 2022, 7:08pm Had always heard about this but somehow never had seen it. Alienation, modern disconnect, meaningless sex. Always wanting something you can’t have, government control. David Bowie is good. Keot waiting for the rocketman song- but no.
