Came away with a new respect for him cuz he had to work his ass off and come from the middle of nowhere to get an opportunity. As for the Krusen thing he said they "warned him and warned him" before they kicked him out. Said the HOF reunion was awesome and that Krusen handled all of it way better than anyone could have expected. Said they all got along. But enough of that nonsense, at the top of the interview he states they've already been writing/recording

Listening to it now. Really loving it. I wish they did this for the whole band.

As with a lot of great interviews, it helps a ton that the interviewer was from a "left of center" perspective. Instead of a random Rolling Stone writer it was a guy into skiing/snowboarding, which made Jeff open up in different ways.

It is uncanny how similar my childhood is to Jeff's outside of the whole good at sports thing.

Does Mike still live in LA at least some of the time? I listen to this LA-based music podcast called Rock Solid that sometimes has musicians on as co-hosts or interview subjects, but only in studio. He'd be perfect for the show.

- A couple of rockers, a couple of ballads, one weird track

- Four stars from Rolling Stone

- Debuts at #1 on the charts with about 90k-100k sold in first week but rapidly plummets

- "The band's best since Vitalogy"

They haven't had a "weird" album track since maybe Riot Act.

I hope they ditch BoB for this one and maybe produce themselves. I'd also be happy with:

Getting together with one to four of the guys.

So some days it'll just be two of them hammering out a song, some days it'll be a few more, and some days it's everyone.

RM sucks at reading
