• Rollins and his listening habits

• Breitling: Watching a lot of rock docs

• Concerts are coming back and we're going to some

• Oh great, the Eagles are touring again

• Plenty of reissues out; gotta make money somehow

• Streaming continues to be the main way to listen to music

• Remembering the days of the Walkman and then later MP3 players that held 8 songs

• Breitling's still producing a weekly radio show called Parcheesi Redux

• Internet radio shows and podcasts are filling the gap left by commercial radio's stagnancy

• I'm still doing my radio show Stuck In Thee Garage on BFF.fm
