I saw it...meh.
Yet another show about guys going on and on about relationships, analyzing them backwards and forwards, asking what they're doing wrong in their lives, a la Woody Allen and all that foolishness. Guys don't talk like that. (Yeah, a generalization, so pipe up about something else, please.)
I guess Wayne was testing the A&R guy...if he knew Sid Vicious' real name, he was OK. So, this sensitive singer-songwriter/John Mayer photocopy is a Sid/Pistols fan?
And they made a big deal about going to the Chelsea Hotel where this person and that person stayed. So why not mention the Sid and Nancy saga, the most famous anecdote connected to the Chelsea? To protect us, I guess.
