Life is a Feeling

It's hard to imagine just how complicated life can become for a group of innocent boys who grow up together in an English village. There's the sex for a start. Then there are the dysfunctional parents. Absent fathers. Bullies. Racial tension. Abysmal schooling. Drugs. Crime. Rock n roll. Fame. Failure. Marriage. Children. Suicidal imaginings. Identity. Not to mention sorting out of what actually happened when a little girl drowned off the southern coast. There's overcoming insecurities. There's coming to terms with inadequacies. Of the certain destruction involving one's longed-held aspirations. The annihilation of your very being. What else! Oh, there's the realisation that life is wonderful!
