While Paul is away, Brad Brock takes over the microphone for another Morning Coffee Rant and dives into the latest debate surrounding The Black Crowes’ recent concert controversy: should artists simply “play the songs,” or do audiences have to accept that performers are human beings with opinions, personalities, and the occasional impulse to speak their minds?

With his trademark humor, rock-and-roll perspective, and plenty of coffee-fueled commentary, Brad explores the line between entertainment and expression. He discusses the unpredictable magic of live performances, the clash between audience expectations and artistic authenticity, and how internet outrage often says more about us than the moment that started the argument.
