Meltdown: Lockdown – Day 30
Here we go, like groundhogs day – the movie…not the actual day. For me, another day of going into work and right back home.
I read a very interesting blog yesterday. Full disclosure, it was written by our brilliant consultant, Fred Jacobs. He observed how in the strange time of social distancing, some of our favorite celebrities are bringing us in and showing us more of them than ever. He called it a new intimacy, and he’s right. Check it out here.
Today’s 30 day song challenge is a tough one. I don’t like weddings, nor do I go to them. OK, I’ll bite….”Skin O’ My Teeth” from Megadeth. I just like that song. Ha!
Our RIFF of the day feature focuses on the guitarists of the band SLAYER. Man, talk about ax-slingers. I wasn’t a fan until the last few years. Watching them from the side of the stage at Rock On The Range in Columbus, Ohio a few years back was an experience I’ll never forget. It was an all-out assault! I’ve never witnessed another band live like that. Maybe I’ll workout to the South Of Heaven album today….hmmmmm….
I’ve got some cool interviews this week. Keep checking back here as I’ll keep you in the loop.
Finally, a video of the interview I did with Taylor Momsen and Ben Phillips from the Pretty Reckless. This interview was on May 17th, 2017. You may recognize that date. They were opening for Soundgarden at the Fox theater. Hours after the show, Chris Cornell would be found dead at the MGM casino. Taylor and the band were so honored to be opening up the shows on that tour. You could hear in their voices how much they admired Chris.
