… this story is not that of one generational thread. It is a visceral woven tapestry of the kids we made, trauma induced memory, rape, racism, sexual identity questions, opioid addiction, Connecticut Soul Cycle bitches, and extreme pressure to get that Ivy League acceptance letter. The artistry of Morissette is magnified by Cody – that raw honest desire Generation X has been afraid to feel since the ’90’s. We commit to poetic earthy characters manifested organically from the womb; not at all like a narrative forced into an album written 25 years ago to make another buck.
Oh, c’mere. Shhhh. That definition of ironic thing? Totally handled. Get your ass in this seat and join the revolution!
