Brian and Murdock dig through listener letters to talk more about Billy Squire, SRV, and an old parody record that still makes us laugh.

Brian and Murdock examine the relationship between the metal god and the manager’s daughter – and the violence, dysfunction, and business savvy that has come to define them and their family over the last 40 years.
