The Program

On Wednesday a bunch of stuff happened and we went over it all! Metallica's "Black Album" and the colossal failure of "Lou Lou", the birth of heavy metal, Woodstock '94, socially distant concerts in the UK and Led Zeppelin being old enough for an AARP membership. We also dive into what movies and books are holding our attention for longer than 15 seconds AND we kick off the program with the Playlist (all albums listed below). Don't forget to subscribe and share with your mom!

Fare you well my only true one." 

It happened five years ago. The last shows of the band known as the Grateful Dead. They played three nights at Wrigley Field. Neither Hannah nor Richie were there but they found ways to be there in spirit! In the first official episode of The Mezz, they break down their feelings and thoughts on those shows as well as what brought the Grateful Dead into their lives in the first place!
