The Hard Road is a road everyone travels

No, Pam's life was over before having her baby.

Can you imagine growing up with Liz Renay as your Mom and a dad who friends are all in the Hollywood Music Business (DEVILS!!!)? I think her life was over as soon as she was born.

What no one seems to capture that this was a movie to PROMOTE sex, w/o getting a STD by the pro-nudist/sex, sex, sex producer (Valle). Every message the movie makes is deliberately anti-drugs and pro-sex, but cautionary only as to how NOT to get an STD, or what to do if you do.

Something Weird Video deserves a thumbs-up for giving us pieces of culture newer people thrust into this world may never know about.

This is such a great movie, anyone who has any connection to SOUTHERN California will find something enjoyable in it.
