Speaker 2: One hundred thousand dollars Metallica strokes a check from their
Speaker 2: All All Within My Hands Foundation to help Hurricane Helene
Speaker 2: Victims Foundation. You know, always stepping up in all sorts
Speaker 2: of different situations. That's just the latest. I suspect I
Speaker 2: would venture a while. Guess you might see him doing
Speaker 2: the same thing after a Milton gets done doing whatever
Speaker 2: Milton's getting.
Speaker 1: Well, let's not assume, but yeah, props on that they do,
Speaker 1: as Pat says, so many great things with that foundation.
Speaker 2: Scott's Stapp will make his debut at the Grand Old
Speaker 2: Opry Nashville. Really yeah. He will perform at the Grand
Speaker 2: Old Opry on October twenty thirty. It'll be his first
Speaker 2: time inside the circle there in the first live performance
Speaker 2: of his first ever duet, If These Walls Could Talk
Speaker 2: featuring Dorothy so that'll be cool.
Speaker 1: That's a trip.
Speaker 2: In somewhat related news, Creed who We Know, is doing
Speaker 2: Gangbusters on their reunion tour and we'll be here in
Speaker 2: Orlando in December at the Kia Center have announced three
Speaker 2: more special shows to close out the twenty twenty four
Speaker 2: leg of the show. We thought the last state was
Speaker 2: going to be here in Orlando.
Speaker 1: Three more where are we talking?
Speaker 2: They're going to go out to Vegas and guess who
Speaker 2: they're gonna partner with on three shows, including one on
Speaker 2: New Year's Eve. They're good buddies, yes, yeah, remember both
Speaker 2: those bands JR favorites back in the day. They both
Speaker 2: kind of hit it the same time.
Speaker 1: And they, yeah, they get along very well. They're all tight.
Speaker 1: So that's awesome. That's good news. If you're a stamp collector,
Speaker 1: this is kind of cool. If you're a fan of
Speaker 1: The Who. The Who have their own stamps now issued
Speaker 1: in UK to commemorate the band's sixtieth anniversary. That's that's
Speaker 1: that's awesome. Look who this letters from? Who?
Speaker 2: Roger Dalton, who sent me a post. Ozzie is back
Speaker 2: on drugs. He's he's smoking a little weed to give
Speaker 2: himself some relief. From his various ailments that he has,
Speaker 2: including you know Parkinson's. He's quote he goes, I'm tempted
Speaker 2: to return to stronger drugs too, Ozzie.
Speaker 1: I don't, don't. Don't go that far. Oz gait Way,
Speaker 1: Come on, I always say, don't do it, ozz Just
Speaker 1: stick with your weed for pain relief. I totally get it.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Ozzie is campaigning hard to get Billy Idle inducted
Speaker 2: into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Those two
Speaker 2: are good buddies, and Idol has been eligible since two
Speaker 2: thousand and seven hasn't even been nominated despite his career.
Speaker 2: Billy is going to be part of the entourage that
Speaker 2: will be celebrating Ozzie's induction as a solo artist coming
Speaker 2: up later this month at the Rock and Wall Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame induction ceremony and at Rocket Mortgage field House
Speaker 2: in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: I swear I thought you were gonna say Billy Eilish
Speaker 1: when you go Billy, I I'm like, no way. Ozzie's
Speaker 1: smoking way too much pot. If he's doing that, maybe
Speaker 1: he did start the harder drum.
Speaker 2: Yeah this I hate seeing this as scammer posing as
Speaker 2: deep purple guitarist Richie Blackmore stole nearly two hundred grand
Speaker 2: in a pretty despicable fraud scam. Valerie Horwood is a
Speaker 2: terminal cancer patient and former classmate of Blackmoor's. The scammer
Speaker 2: contacted her through Facebook and convinced her to this sound
Speaker 2: familiar to send nearly one hundred and eighty four thousand
Speaker 2: dollars in Apple gift cards over a three year period.
Speaker 2: The scam was finally discovered when Horwood's children learned her
Speaker 2: life savings had disappeared. She's eighty one years yars old,
Speaker 2: still can't believe it was a scam when they told her.
Speaker 2: The police in the UK are investigating and a fundraising
Speaker 2: page has been set up to help her. She's zero
Speaker 2: money to her name. Now, that is so weak taking
Speaker 2: advantage of her. Somebody's got the hell chip for that,
Speaker 2: no doubt. What else do I want to get in here?
Speaker 2: Let's see a tough week for the Flaming Lips, the
Speaker 2: band here they took a they got on social media
Speaker 2: yesterday trying to find one of the band's band member's
Speaker 2: missing daughter. News broke that Nel Smith, seventeen year old
Speaker 2: musical prodigy who had collaborated on an album with them,
Speaker 2: had died in a car accidents Sunday night. A couple
Speaker 2: of examples of songs she did with the Red Red Right, Red,
Speaker 2: Right Hand and the Weeping Song. Stephen Drudd's daughter is sixteen.
Speaker 2: Her name Charlotte Drowsed and she's been missing since around
Speaker 2: eleven thirty Saturday. Seen on a mono al in Seattle
Speaker 2: near the Space Needle. As for Nelsmith, she was working
Speaker 2: on her first solo album to be released in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five. So a double whammy of bad news for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were just here. They just opened up for
Speaker 1: who they open up for, Billie Eilish, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I can't believe I just drew a blank on that
Speaker 1: anyway show a couple of weeks ago. Not surprised by
Speaker 1: this little Deezer Weezer, thank you Okay Weezer deal at
Speaker 1: Kia Center Top Southern Rock Songs of All Time? I
Speaker 1: get the top ten here, the top ten dominated and
Speaker 1: rightfully so by songs from the Alvin Brothers and Leonard Skinner.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, what do you think came in at number one?
Speaker 2: In this The Ultimate Southern Ultimate Classic Rock put up
Speaker 2: the ultimate Southern rock songs of all time.
Speaker 1: It's got to be sweet Home. All of them are. No.
Speaker 2: They came in at number three, We're Skinner, number two,
Speaker 2: free Bird from Skinnered. I would have thought Freebird would
Speaker 2: have been one, but the one that they had, it's
Speaker 2: hard to argue. They got Whipping Post from the Almond
Speaker 2: Brothers Band at number one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2: Also in the top ten, Midnight Rider from Greg Almond,
Speaker 2: Ramblin' Man another great Almond tune, Lagrange from Zzy Top
Speaker 2: Dixie Chicken from Little Feet Cane, you see the Marshall
Speaker 2: Tucker Band, Give Me Three Steps from Skinnered, and simple
Speaker 2: Man from skinnerd rounding out the top ten all time
Speaker 2: greatest Southern Rock tunes.
Speaker 1: I still would have put Skinnered at the top the
Speaker 1: first one, but it's just can't go wrong with any
Speaker 1: of those songs.
Speaker 2: So there's your rock news for this week. On the
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app, This is JR R
