Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s have a theory involving ladies of the night, drugs, Budweiser, egging cars, public urination, and play guns all set to “As Tall As Cliffs” the single from their album Animal! I am not sure how accurate their prediction is, but if even a fraction of this happens in January I will be ecstatic.
