Even I, as a victim of the rumor mill, wasn’t immune to sharing little scandals with my friends when I came across them. Cause the end of the day, teenagers have no idea who the f*ck they are or how what they do might be hurting someone. All you can do is hope everyone grew up to become decent and empathic adults.\"  https://tinyurl.com/73c7a6pb\n\nhttps://www.wednesday.band/","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
