TONIGHT we took a walk on the Wild Side and enjoyed some trashy, glammy Hollywood Boulevard-esque metal (and things adjacent) here on WRIR 97.3 Richmond Independent Radio. This is a type of metal that a lot of folks consider a “guilty pleasure” — I say take pride in what brings you joy, even if it’s something as corny as Warrant’s “Down Boys.” Bang your head, shout at the devil, and see you next week!
