Steven Tyler Accused of Being A 70s Rock Star

Jon gets all nervous whenever something like this comes up. He always thinks he's gonna be cancelled. I'm sure he won't mind me saying that. Anyway, Steven Tyler has been accused of shagging an American groupie who was under age back in... 1975 was it? Me and Jon discuss it. Like adults. One who actually lived in the 70s and appreciated every transgressive moment, because it felt like freedom. I was 15. And one who did not and has no balls. He is 95. Hosted on Acast.

Back In The USSR

Jon and I take a serious look back at the recently revealed list of banned bands in the former Soviet Union and ask this important question - why didn't we in the west have a similar list?

The Niv

Jon and I have decided we need a manager. But not just some bean counter who will give us a 'taste' then run off with the rest. But someone more 'on our level'. That is, someone who sees we make NOT A FUCKING PENNY for these pods and who can 'turn it around'. Someone who is more like an artist themselves in that they 'get it'. But knows how to make the big bucks without sacrificing whatever it is you have to sacrifice to get there. (Though personally I'm up for a bit of sacrifice if it means fin...
