Unfortunately, unlike its namesake, Woodstock ’99 will go down as an all-time great concert disaster.

We’re joined by Abbey Bender, the Village Voice’s authority on fashion in films and erotic thrillers to discuss Viv’s life.

And introducing……those wild eyed boys! Yes, we’re talking Thin Lizzy, the Irish hard rock group that obtained international recognition through their 1976 single “The Boys Are Back In Town”. We talk all about the band, Twitter semiotics and what we talk about when we talk about "the boys" with our guest, writer, critic and creator of the popular nationally produced edu-party-lecture series Drunk Education, Eric Thurm.
