“There are no second acts in American lives,” according to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Dave Grohl begs to differ.

Bill & Tony return for a chat about ‘The Colour and The Shape’ by Foo Fighters. We invite you to join us for our conversation about the first full band release...
“Son…have I got a little story for you”. Bill & Tony are “Alive” and back for season 2 with a chat about ‘Ten’ by Pearl Jam. “Ten” is ranked #160 on the most recent Rolling Stone top 500 album list, and may just be the quintessential grunge album born from the Seattle music scene in the early 90s.
