Foreigner’s “Juke Box Hero” came up during random play in Apple Music, and because I am a dad with boys, this song became “Juice Box Hero” for us a long time ago, and that’s still what I hear when I listen to this song.

Rockin’ old school today, both in terms of music and the throwback iOS interface thanks to Zhenyi Tan’s Medley.



Again, if you’re going to give the metal treatment to a classic American spiritual, I cannot imagine a better outcome than 3 Days Under’s “God’s Gonna Cut You Down.”

Absolutely awesome.

Chris has discovered the Hair Metal Essentials playlist on Apple Music.

Today was repping Stryper, but tomorrow will be time to promote the release of Les Carlsen’s new album, “He’s Coming!”



I unapologetically love the opening of Avenged Sevenfold’s “Hail to the King,” the way they build it one instrument at a time, layering one on another, until you get Johnny’s bass dropping just over 50 seconds in. Great stuff.

Like, I already don’t understand how you could listen to @TheDollyrots and not get a smile on your face, but if you watch them just being themselves and don’t grin, brother, you need to get out more!

And with zero apologies to U2, the better cover of “Helter Skelter” belongs to the Crüe.

Got it in my head to listen to some Crüe while working today. Apple Music has the 2021 remaster of Shout at the Devil, and let me tell you, “Looks That Kill” still kicks major butt.

Moreso with cleaned up production.

Mad props to all my GenX Stars fans continuing to belt out “Livin’ On a Prayer” when @ShippySpins is forced to cut the audio at the rink. #LetsGoStars
