The Growth and Healing of Clean
We’re coming down from our Showgirl high, and taking it back to 1989 this week. Uncle Jerry takes us through Clean, and breaks down the metaphors and themes found in the poem, including addiction, healing, personal growth, and personal agency.
He also asks Angela who this song was inspired by, and admits that he’s now wondering about that in all of these songs. :)
