Erik Sandin: From Punk Rock Chaos to Sobriety on The Z-Man Podcast
“I wouldn't want them to walk into a room and find me OD'd, or I wouldn't want them to find a needle that I left out and just be like what the fuck is going on, because I have the capacity to have a second secret life, like I've done it in the past.”
