"A fucking fantastic song. It can stand alongside anything for Appetite for Destruction: that chorus, that intro, it just makes the hairs on your arm stand up. It's so fucking good. Really, really exciting. I know by this time they're all blown up and everyone's slagging them off for doing two double albums that had patchy shit on them, but what can you say? I don't think it matters really."

"For its depiction of the Wild West of cowboys and Indians, and Custer’s Last Stand – very appealing to someone who grew up in the Wild West when it was still wild."

Good but doesn't live up to the books.
Unfortunately not on a par with the books. Probably perfectly passable as a stand alone. As a fan of the book series I felt let down.

I had never heard anything from this Indian-American comedian, but I was excited cause I'm always down for stand-up.
It's important to know going in that his stand up is pretty heavily political and definitely left-leaning. That in and of itself didn't bother me. In fact, I found quite a bit of that part hilarious (the Trump bit and the Universal healthcare bit). However, I discovered that a solid hour+ of that material does start to feel heavy handed. Especially when the last 15 minutes or so feel more like a sermon and less like a stand up.
If you lean that way or are an American immigrant, you will probably enjoy it much more than me. For me it was a bit much by the end.

Completely relatable in everyones lives all stages. Buffy taught alot of young girls to stand up for themselves and more.
