Are we the thieves of Joy?

About this episode

Alan Averill reflects on the changing nature of joy and recklessness in the context of Rock N Roll and personal experiences.

I missed out Episode 290 so let's go back in time, this one is kinda rambling and all over the place, why Rock N Roll and all the trappings, spices, side dishes, hangovers, come downs and black eyes seem like something from another century. Is it even possible to be Rock N Roll anymore? Part 3 of why nothing feels the same, why nothing little feels joyous or reckless anymore, going to gigs, socializing, is this just ageing or is there something else going on? Let's find out....maybe it's just me and I need some Vitamin D Maybe it's all one giant piss take....? nemtheanga_primordial on the gram support the show over at : https://patreon.com/AlanAverill Primordial on Spotify YES THERE'S A NEW Primordial LIVE ALBUM OUT !! https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQ sponsored by Metal Blade records https://metalblade.indiemerch.com/ promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your order ships worldwide For info on my work as a booking agent go to: https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficial or email alan@dragon-productions.com Primordial cds/lps available from https://www.metalblade.com/primordial/ death metal VERMINOUS SERPENT…
