He explained that he reports upcoming news and ticket sales, not concert reviews, and mentioned his press credentials were missing from his mail slot. 🎤
The segment covered several tour announcements, including Marilyn Manson’s anti-Christ superstar 30th anniversary shows in L.A., which Bob kept there saying “we’re all good people here in Austin.” He discussed Alice Cooper’s upcoming autobiography “Devil on My Shoulder” and book tour, praising Cooper’s longevity and survival in the business. Bob reminisced about becoming an Alice Cooper fan during high school with the “Killer” album. 📚

The most somber news was the death of Tommy DeCarlo, Boston’s frontman since 2008, who died at 60 from brain cancer.

Bob also shared his theory about Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama,” believing Ronnie Van Zant said “My Donuts” because the band ate his donuts while he was preparing to record vocals, rather than the commonly believed “Montgomery.” 🍩
