Description
<p>On this episode I'm joined by musician and writer Tony O'Neill. Tony rose from working class Blackburn to playing keyboards with Marc Almond, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Kenickie. But that's only the beginning of his story. After falling into serious drug addiction, he pivoted and became a respected man of letters, writing underground classics such as Digging The Vain and Sick City - and Tony and I delve into his work, his crazed Hollywood experiences that involve Courtney Love and a memorable night with Ron Jeremy!</p><p>So it's appropriate that he jumps aboard IFWT to discuss Matthew Brights, often maligned, arthouse meets trashterpiece, Freeway 2: Confessions of a Trickbaby, starring Natasha Lyonne as 'White Girl', a young woman thrust into the penal system, before escaping with fellow inmate Cyclona, and heading on a twisted road trip filled with murder, necrophilia, drug abuse and a sinister Sister Gomez, played but the iconoclastic Vincent Gallo. </p><p><br></p><p>You can find Tony online at: Tonyoneill.net</p><p>Instagram: @tony_oneill_writer</p><p>And you can pick up his latest short story collection Forged Prescriptions wherever you buy your books. </p>
