you're just...gross

In which Becky and Dan discuss the disgusting rock trend of singing lustfully about underage girls. We consider Ted Nugent's "Jailbait" and Benny Mardones' "Into the Night", and along the way ask some deep questions, like, When was the term "jailbait" first used? Are Benny Mardones and Nigel Tufnel the same person? How did these songs pass muster with the record labels? And who would sing along? #funnypodcast #podcast #rockband #jailbait #gross #laugh #musicpodcast #rocknroll We'd love to hear from you!
