3 Doors Down is playing at Freedom Hill tomorrow night with Collective Soul and Soul Asylum on the Rock & Roll Express tour. Last week I had singer Brad Arnold on my Radio Chatter podcast. The band has been friends with WRIF since they first time they came through Detroit. You can listen to the entire interview here.

As with the last conversation I had with Brad, his sobriety came up again. Last time he talked about how a famous fiddler helped him to clean up and he reiterated that again last week.

I also found it fascinating to discover why he drank in the first place.

I'm looking forward to seeing the guys tomorrow night. If you happen to see me, be sure to say hello......
