We haven't been recording much lately, and Street Fight never uploaded their August 14th call-in show to their podcast feed, so I'm stealing their content and claiming it as my own to deliver an easy 35 minutes of content to you, the devoted Rock Hard Caucus listeners. Listen to me and Bryan ramble about a bunch of junk, mostly music.
