Luke made a lot of people upset with his CBS commentary when he suggested that folks might want to go outside once in a while. But has anyone else noticed the proliferation of services where items selected by someone else are shipped to your house? BarkBox, NatureBox, Trunk Club, and Warby Parker to name just a few. I’m not against shopping online for things we’re sure we need but now we’re getting stuff shipped to us just to look at? I don’t like shopping but I hate wasting time and money even more. Hang on I have to go yell at a cloud…

All of the talk of the Guns N’ Roses MTV trilogy, Soundgarden’s Spoonman, and Temple of the Dog brought back fond memories of singing Hunger Strike with my first wife. In 1992 we went down to the beach in Discovery Park where the video was shot and after making sure no one was around we belted it out. The twist we put on it is she grumbled the Eddie Vedder part and I screamed the Chris Cornell part. Our four year old daughter was appalled and refused to be Mike McCready even though we brought a stupid hat for her to wear.

The video for Estranged made it clear that Axl Rose was a trailblazer for Kanye West. The man swimming with dolphins in that video to his eventual rescue by helicopter was an artist who hadn’t heard the word “no” in a very long time. And in an odd podcast chat coincidence, Axl and Renee Zellweger have settled on the exact same face. Except she can probably grow a thicker beard.

Follow me @drewmcfrizz on Twitter. Friend me on Facebook where I post a lot of police brutality videos. My “government” is Mike Frizzell. Go to the Takedown Podcast page and Like us for constant updates on a lady named Chickfly who just patented crotchless hiking pants.

Harper “Buddy” Lee: You Can’t Bust Her!

I spent a blog "week off" mourning the Sea-Yuks loss but I was still listening to the show. There are so many issues it feels like time for my first USA Today/Larry King style post.

Touched “a” Verve… or “The” Verve?

On the morning of January 23rd, 2006 my phone rang while I was eating breakfast. I had a sore throat so my "hello" was weak and hoarse.
