I'm turning 30 this year. My life can't be about sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll anymore.

You need to grow up and get yourself together! It's not about sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll all the time.

In 1971, The Spectator, a British magazine, wrote:

"Not for nothing is the young culture characterized by sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll."
