Second-degree Murder
above GG Allin performing in 1992 There’s never been nor will there ever be another performer like GG Allin.

Sometimes, you just need a little time to catch your breath. It’s been almost a decade of jet-setting and TV appearances for Oklahoma City pop-rock singer Graham Colton, all amounting to very little rest and downtime in his hometown.
