Still no end in sight. Lots of creative ways that people have found to stay sane. Pushup challenges, Tiger King, streaming services, pick a color in your photos and post it, and so on. Imagine if this was 30 years ago! What would we do, then?

Speaking of challenges, we have our own. The 30 day song challenge. That should get us through April, anyways.  We've been posting it every day on our socials. For today's challenge I'll pick "Silent Lucidity" from Queensryche.....and I'll leave it at that.

Had another chance to talk with Gavin Rossdale from Bush yesterday. I interviewed him in person back in the fall before the show at Meadowbrook.  It's funny, I'd never met or interviewed him the first 25 years of his career, and now I've talked to him three times in the last year. He has a great sense of humor and is really likable. Check out our conversation from yesterday right here.  He talks about their new album that's dropping on July 17th, a hysterical recap of his watching of the Tiger King, what he's been doing during the quarantine, and lots more. 

Off to put some miles on the bicycle....talk to you tomorrow, here, on the air today from 3-7pm. As someone once said, "lets be safe out there".

Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history. Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
