Radio Free Shambles: Teen Intervention Day (4/22/17)

rfs teen1:01:37 – Let’s step back in time now to 1992. Young Shambles Constant and his friends experience Teen Intervention Day, a day in which the faculty attempts to solve all the difficulties of adolescence in a mere eight hours. A valiant effort but one destined for failure if the irreverence of these not-so-troubled teens is any indication. You will hear crappy Bob Dylan impressions, references to inside jokes that even present-day Shambles no longer understands, an afterschool rehearsal for the student production of Little Shop of Horrors, and one of Shambles’s friends engaging in a battle of wits with some girl on the bus. Also, young Shambles on this particular day is being a bit of a jerk to his friends. Recorded 3/10/92. RFS 114.
