In this episode of One Drink Podcast, we crank the volume and dive headfirst into the gritty glory of Skid Row’s iconic anthem “18 and Life.” We break down the music video, the meaning behind the lyrics, and how a rebellious youth named Ricky became a symbol of bad choices and broken dreams. And just when you think you know his story—we give you an unexpected update on what Ricky might be up to now.

It’s loud, it’s raw, and it’s pure 80s rock storytelling at its finest. So grab a cold one and join us as we rewind the tape on one of the most unforgettable rock ballads of all time.
