GOT A QUESTION

FOR CROZ?

Email AskCroz@

Rollingstone.com

My husband had pros-

tate surgery a few years

ago and is no longer sexu-

ally functional in any way.

I don’t want to divorce the

guy (he’s the love of my

life), but would it be so

wrong of me to seek sex

elsewhere?

—Cathy, NV

I’m sorry about your guy,

but I’m sure he’s sorrier

than I am. If he says you

should get laid, then you

could. But if you just go do

it, it’s going to hurt him. It

would be disloyal, not lov-

ing. It’s not his fault he got

sick. And getting laid isn’t

that important. I say that

even though it was the

most important thing in

my life at one point. I was

a caboose to my dick. But

if you love this guy, don’t

do it. It’ll break his heart.

My son is 17 and I worry

I’ve been a failure as a

father. No matter what I

do, he does nothing all

day long but stare at his

phone. What can I do?

—Dave, WI

A ton of parents are in

the same situation. A

lot of kids I know spend

all their time gaming.

They don’t go out or

even have friends. Don’t

blame yourself because it

doesn’t help. Say to him,

“Let’s go get a burger or

take a walk on the beach.”

It can be anything, but

get him out of the house.

Try your best to get him

to participate in the real

world. I think kids that act

like him are not happy

with their lives and are

looking for a place to hide.

I would take a look at that

and try to figure out why

this happened.

Real-life advice

from a guy who’s

seen, done, and

survived just about

everything

WEED CONFERENCE

9. Cannabusiness
   From March 18th to 21st,
   South by Southwest’s
   second annual Canna-
   business Track is tackling
   social equity, looking at
   how the pot industry can
   ensure people of color get
   a fair shot, with guests like
   advocate Steve DeAngelo.

MOVIE

10. The Climb
    Michael Angelo Covino
    expanded his 2018 short
    about two guys out for a
    bike ride into a feature —
    and the result is the sort
    of independent comedy
    that makes you feel like
    the Nineties never really
    ended. If you only see one
    film this year featuring a
    chubby guy doing a pole
    dance in a suburban base-
    ment, make it this one.

BOOK

4. Broken Faith
   Two veteran journalists
   take you inside North
   Carolina’s extremist Word
   of Faith Fellowship. It’s
   harrowing stuff, especially
   their descriptions of
   “blasting,” i.e., restraining
   congregants and
   screaming at them until
   their demons are released.

COMIC

5. Strange
   Adventures
   Last year, CIA-agent-
   turned-comics-author
   Tom King gave the vintage
   DC series Mr. Miracle an
   experimental makeover.
   Now, he’s done the same
   thing with DC’s 1950s
   spaceman Adam Strange,
   turning it into a radically
   inventive metaphor for
   the ”19th-century Europe-
   an dream of colonialism.”

TOUR

6. Rage Against
   the Machine
   We were deep in the Great
   Recession the last time
   these rap-rock lefties got
   together. Well, capitalism
   still sucks, RATM still rule,
   and this is an awesome
   must-see reunion.
   PODCAST


7. No Dogs
   in Space
   Marcus Parks, co-host of
   the great horror-themed
   Last Podcast on the Left,
   dives deep into the stories
   of his favorite bands, start-
   ing with punk heroes the
   Stooges. Even die-hard
   fans will find it revelatory.

ALBUM

8. The Kids That
   Grew Up on
   Reggaeton
   Marco “Tainy” Masís has
   shaped modern reggae-
   ton, producing albums for
   Daddy Yankee, J Balvin,
   and Bad Bunny. His new

EXHIBIT

1. Studio 54:
   Night Magic
   As the epicenter of New
   York nightlife at the peak
   of the disco era, Studio 54
   has become synonymous
   with Seventies decadence.
   This exhibit at the Brook-
   lyn Museum celebrates
   the club’s coked-up
   legend while examining its
   impact on pop culture and
   the sexual revolution.

DOCUSERIES

2. Hillary
   Decades after she first
   entered public life, Hillary
   Clinton remains a polariz-
   ing figure. Hulu’s revealing
   new series tells her life
   story, including a uniquely
   unfiltered glimpse of the
   2016 campaign.

SINGLE

3. Dixie Chicks’
   “Gaslighter”
   A pop-music lifetime after
   their anti-Bush views
   made them Nashville ex-
   iles, the Chicks are about
   to release a bold new LP.
   Its first single is personal,
   not political, chronicling
   the slow collapse of singer
   Natalie Maines’ marriage.
