I don’t use public showers i.e. in gyms or swimming pools that require a membership and prefer not to piss openly in front of others (actually I can’t) so any penis ‘flashing’ my friends might have been subject to has been merely coincidental and unintentional and left unmentioned.
In this early interview with the Cleveland local news, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor offers some thoughts about the cool new electronic music his band “Exotic Birds” is making. Obviously this was before he discovered The Cure and emptiness of life. Vintage video after the jump.
