Meltdown: Lockdown – Day Twenty Four

It's day number Jeff Gordon (24) of the lockdown.shelter-in-place, whatever you want to call it. Hopefully we don't have another Jimmy Johnson days (48) left.

Yesterday, I had a caller named Melody call me to thank me for going to work everyday to try to entertain everyone in the audience. While I appreciate the comments, I'm just doing my job. The health workers and those on the frontline are the real heroes. I'm trying to avoid this invisible enemy. That being said I traded a couple messages with my friend Zacky Vengeance from Avenged Sevenfold. I told him we were still live on the air to which he responded "Glad you guys are able to stay on air. People need you.". I hope in a small way, I'm helping people feel a little bit of normalcy in these very strange times.

I was going to save this, but since I brought up Avenged Sevenfold, I thought I'd share the interview I did with James Hetfield before the Comerica Park show with Avenged (who had to cut their set short because of impending weather, which never came) and Volbeat from 2017.

James is one of my favorite guys in the rock world. He's so easy to talk to. In the future I'll pass along the funny story of the first time I met him. In the meantime, enjoy this....
