Bobby Blotzer hadn't done an interview for FIVE YEARS... until now. The Ratt drummer came on to talk about the history, the breakup, the loss of Robbin Crosby, Contraband, Jani Lane, the lawsuits & the fact that he wants one last tour with his brothers... link below. @coolasice232 @StephenEPearcy @theRATTpack

I watched many elected and appointed officials discuss the update for the Palisades clean up but after hours of talking, no schedule for when the clean up begins.
Is anyone else frustrated? It has been 3 weeks since the fire started.

Reilly Opelka calls for a ban on Adderall in professional tennis.
During a Q&A on Instagram, he was asked what changes he’d like to see on the ATP Tour:
“Ban Adderall.”
Due to its effectiveness in treating ADHD, Reilly was questioned about his call for an Adderall Ban. This was his response:
“My comment applies to professional tennis in particular. But some players have a hard time building strength... should they be allowed to take steroids?”

Frances Tiafoe: “I think fans should be able to come & go & move around & speak during matches. Imagine going to a basketball game & not saying anything. Apart from retaining some tradition at Wimbledon..outside that, let's start changing things to bring younger fans to the game”
