Too Heavy To Hug #688

To follow up on last week’s issue, the Corey Taylor episode of The Therapist is currently available online at SBS on Demand and at times it’s a somewhat fascinating interview. I did catch other episodes of the show too and from what I’ve seen, there’s some pretty heavy shit going on, especially with Katy Perry. If you’re looking to understand art, artists, inspiration or your own personal battles, go no further than this show. Next issue of THTH won’t be on this topic, promise.
