It was a slow news week, but there was still plenty to talk about.

This episode starts with a personal one. I explain why Sammy Hagar playing the Freedom 250 event hit me harder than I expected, and why it's so disappointing when an artist you've loved for decades leaves you questioning how you hear their music.

We also get into:

• Metallica donating $100,000 for Venezuela earthquake relief

• Rush launching a limited-edition charity shirt to help earthquake victims

• Billy Morrison's new song with Dexter Holland

• Wilco and The Breeders helping set a world record (yes, really)

• Plus a few other stories from around the rock world.

Rush Venezuela Relief Shirt:

If you'd like to support the relief effort, you can grab the limited-edition shirt here: Rush x Fantoons Venezuela Earthquake Relief Shirt. All profits benefit Hogar Bambi, which provides food, medicine, and shelter for children affected by the earthquakes.
