You want to talk about cancel culture, let\u2019s get kids tweeting and Instagramming.

I didn\u2019t say anything like that editor did, but I definitely got into trouble and partied and did things I would be embarrassed about now, and it\u2019s bad enough that I have a record starting, you know, when I was 20, let alone when you are 8.
