About this item

Product details

Someone once asked me:

What's It About?

It's about nothing. It's about everything. It's about life. It's about high school. It's about growing up in Knoxville, Tennessee in the '70s, wanting to be accepted, trying to fit in, feeling awkward, doing too many drugs, looking for love, finding out that it's not just about sex, searching for greener pastures (double entendre intended), seeking a higher truth while simultaneously running away from it until it finally runs you down and comes to your rescue.
