This is epic. I'm so glad that you got to have and share this experience.

(Also me : reads the title of this post before opening it, thinking "Truth of My Youth" would be a great song title, forgetting that it actually is a NFG song 😂🤘)

I read this through a film of tears. Why?

It is RICH: humorous, nostalgic and celebratory. 🙌

I haven’t! I looked into going to the album’s 20th anniversary show last year but couldn’t. My youth concerts were spice girls and dc talk, but that’s about it.
