The F-word is used enthusiastically. Homosexual prostitution is implied. He talks about wanting to have sex with strippers. He worked for a gangster, and he took drugs... mostly marijuana, but also cocaine and meth when he was misled by strangers. (I'm not sure I believe that, but OK.) In his favor, he does not glorify any of these things. He did pursue the job as a DJ for a stripper joint, but even that turned out badly. Thus it was not glorified but revealed to be a dead end. Your choice, of course.(less)
