T-Bone phones in to plug Crue returning to the Boston area. Remind me to tell you the Shrek story some day. See…Tommy and I were *almost* friends for a while. When he was a solo artist, and I was in Sacramento, we’d pass e-mails back n’ forth. Somewhere along the way, he started calling me Shrek. It stuck for a while. And then, Motley Crue got back together…and we lost touch. True Story: the last time I heard from him, he was flying on a famous rapper’s jet, with a very short music legend from Minneapolis’ wife (allegedly!)

Here’s the infamous “douchebag” interview. Scott was getting ready to put out his solo CD, and the Program Director of WAAF at the time, was friends with the guys from Creed. So, Scott called in a favor. I told the PD that I’d go easy…but 40 seconds in, I drop it on him, and he stays on the air with me for a half-hour. Gotta give him credit for hanging in. He was a GREAT sport.

Another “Go Red Sox” song from the 2004 World Series run! If you were in Boston during this, it was crazy! A very fun time! We did this song before the “bloody sock.” It just happened that Schilling was on a tear at the time. So, the timing worked out nicely. Little did we know that the Sox would create the drama they did. Boston went nuts in 2004. Sox fans became complete douchebags soon thereafter.

Meanwhile back in Philadelphia, we find our heroes shooting the sh*t with Robert from Metallica. Robert’s one of the coolest guys you’ll ever meet. Just completely laid back. Of course, what did he have to be anything but about? He’s a sick bass player, and didn’t need the gig. Every time I’ve met him, he’s been this cool. Just one of the good guys.

Another cool new band stops by the broadcast table at the biggest one-day music event in the Midwest. It’s Rockfest in Kansas City. This was near the beginning of their career. These guys have a great sense of humor. And, they write *very* catchy tunes. Of all the bands that seem to be “come & go” these days, I think this one has real talent. I hope they stick around for a while. They’re good guys, who seem to get it on every level.
