What was your first concert, your last concert, and your next one coming up?

@HeyHeyItsConrad Unless and until @MikePWInsider reports this, I won’t buy in…

@BustedOpenRadio @_denisesalcedo @TheMarkHenry Denise is speaking for me this morning. This makes no sense. Pat McAfee is going to “save the business”? What?

Busted Open is LIVE 🚨 with Denise Salcedo and Mark Henry covering everything Smackdown and the week that was in pro wrestling! Give us a call on what went down in St. Louis last night! ☎️877-344-4893

@BustedOpenRadio @davidlagreca1 @TheMarkHenry @PatMcAfeeShow @RandyOrton @SiriusXMSports Pat McAfee, moreso than anyone else, understands what “the business” needs? That’s what we’re supposed to believe? After the massive run with the Bloodline, etc, we’re back to “we need to get back to the 90s”?

"That's why our business is soft now..." @TheMarkHenry rationalizes @PatMcAfeeShow's phone calls📲 w/ @RandyOrton & attacking🦵#CodyRhodes by surprise at #Smackdown on the #BustedOpen247 Podcast! #BOAD | #ProWrestlingNation247 @SiriusXMSports

Love to see it.

In the 1990s we experienced: Peak Michael Jordan. The rise of Tiger Woods. Gas at 99 cents a gallon. The golden age of Hip-Hop. The rise of The Rock & Steve Austin. The rise of Venus and Serena Williams. A streak of classic Disney animated films. Sitcoms: Seinfeld, Friends, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Star Trek: "The Next Generation" and "Deep Space 9" Peak SNES, and the arrival of Sony's first PlayStation. Marvel Comics sold hundreds of thousands of books a month. DC Comics' "The Death of Superman" became national news. Rise of young comics including Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock. Elite work from established Hollywood stars, breakouts of new stars and filmmakers, classic blockbuster films (and late night TV hosts who promoted the business instead of lecturing audiences). Nostalgia for the 1990s is strong because excellence across multiple arenas in pop culture was obvious and undeniable, and this excellence enhanced our quality of life. Fame had to be earned, we could enjoy things together, and algorithms had yet to atomize and divide us. It was an amazing time to be alive.

I miss having a President in the White House who didn't constantly make us feel like he was deliberately driving the country off a cliff because he's a fucking idiot. This is exhausting.

Imagine working your way up in the military and then you get fired by a Fox News host

Bondi was awful, but no worse than Patel. Noem was terrible, but no worse than Hegseth. Funny that it’s only the women who get fired.

Firing the Army chief of staff in the middle of a war is always a sign that things are going great

@EddieTrunk To each their own indeed. I'm a huge Bruce fan, and while not all the covers mean much to me, many do. E Street Band versions of classics; homages to AC/DC, Prince, etc; they become part of the Bruce concert experience. He's sharing his love of music with the crowd.

It seems my opinion about artists doing covers live has touched off a debate of sorts? Apparently the part about artists with “deep extensive catalogs” was lost? All I am saying is an artist like Bruce has literally hundreds of songs. He does a percentage of covers all the time I’m told. IMO simply as a fan, if I go to see an artist because I love their music and they have an extensive catalog, I’d rather hear their songs. Simple as that. Again I get some have made covers their own, or it serves as a solo spotlight for someone. All good. But using the Bruce example I have a ton of friends that go see him and would much rather hear Jungleland or something he left out of his own catalog, vs a cover. I have seen Kiss, VH and more over the years add covers at the expense of big songs they left out. Just my opinion as a fan going to see an artist I love that has a large catalog. To each their own.

In a surprise twist, the Epstein files released the attorney general.

@KristinRaworth Congrats Kristin! Glad to hear it.

*taps 🎤* Guess who just got an incredible job after a VERY long five months?!?!?

Oil up 25 per cent, markets crashing everywhere, war a mess. Great job, Mango Mussolini.

@BMeiselas Will it make an iota of difference?

Honestly, the American people need to see Trump like that. They’re usually spoon-fed short one-liners and sane washed summaries. Seeing him unfiltered like that, where his deterioration is on full display and he’s clearly unhinged, is not something the average person sees every day.

@ThatEricAlper The Gits - Frenching the Bully

What is a record you absolutely love that you feel like the world has not discovered yet? This is your chance to share it with people who will truly appreciate it.

@narchy4all @garydinsdale Those old PPV themes were so good. I’ve always hoped they’d be released.

@garydinsdale Been looking for that music forever.

36 years ago, the WWF was giving last minute hype for WrestleMania VI with "Mean" Gene Okerlund's WrestleMania Report. Don't care what anyone says, it just isn't the same feeling today - I do wish WWE would officially release that theme music in full!

@mitchlafon Functionally and sonically, were they any different from CDs? Better, worse?

Loved my mini-disc. I still have my player.
