Bogosyan’s words resonate deeply: “the expression sex, drugs, and rock and roll has seemed to be tattooed on my life in the last twenty-five years. For a long time, I even thought that sex, drugs, and rock and roll was life itself. Anyone who did not move at 150 km. In an hour of crazy music, he was just not alive. Don’t you admit rock, then your dead. In fact,it turned out to be the opposite.”
