FOR CROZ?
Email AskCroz@
Rollingstone.comI have a son who is an
opioid addict. Do you
let a guy who is 31 and a
college graduate go all
the way to the bottom
and onto the streets
because of his contin-
ued use?
—Dave, WI
You can’t live his life for
him, but you have to
try and get him off. It’s
your responsibility as
a parent. Get him to a
12-step program. When
I first went to one I was
like, “What am I doing
sitting in a room full
of losers?” Then one
guy got up and started
telling my exact story.
And the dumb-looking
guy behind me was
eight years sober. He
knew something I didn’t.
Look, if you don’t help
your kid, one day he’ll
overdose and die. You
don’t have any choice.My wife checked
out my web history the
other day and found
a bunch of porn sites.
She says watching that
is like cheating. What
do I do?
—Richie, OH
First off, when you get
done watching the porn,
wipe the history on your
computer, you dummy.
Secondly, porn is kind
of addicting. Unless you
have no other way of
having fun, it’s not good.
It’s lame. It’s shallow. It’s
not as good as people.
But she doesn’t like you
watching it because
it’s insulting to her. In
any case, just wipe
the history. Everyone
knows that.Real-life advice

seen, done, and
survived just about

Patagonia, carrying
Chatwin’s beloved
rucksack with him.MEMOIR- Mark Lanegan,
‘Sing Backwards
and Weep’
The former Screaming
Trees frontman never felt
comfortable being a low-
key grunge icon, so he
doesn’t hold back in this
novelistic memoir of the
Seattle scene.
DOCUMENTARY- ‘How to Fix a
Drug Scandal’
Directed by Erin Lee Carr
and based on a ROLLING
STONE story, this doc
explores how two crooked
state-lab chemists in
Massachusetts caused
a miscarriage of justice
— and how authorities
covered it up.
TV SHOW- ‘Fargo’
Season Four
The anthology noir-drama
is back, now starring Chris
Rock as a gangster in
1950s Kansas City, trying
to move in on the Mafia’s
criminal enterprise. Bonus:
Jason Schwartzman as a
sleazy mobster.
PODCAST- ‘The Dating
Game Killer’
In 1978, Rodney Alcala,
a photographer with a
knack for suggestive puns,
appeared on The Dating
Game and won. But the
bachelorette he’d been set
up with sensed something
was a bit off about her
date and refused to go
out with him. Good move!
It turned out he was a
serial killer in mid-spree.
Here’s the impossibly
bizarre story.

Gaga would drop the kind

After all these years, we’re
still believers.
