Crown and Chaos Vol. 10

Recovering from the holiday madness, but the rock 'n' roll spirit never stops—Merry Day-After Christmas!

📝 The Evil Empire Strikes Back: Bobby D Returns to His Desk

Oh yeah, baby. I’m back! Christmas may be over, but the chaos never truly stops. First, let me apologize for this newsletter being fashionably late—turns out even the Rock King needs a day off now and then.

Yesterday, my desk was a quiet wasteland of spilled coffee stains and abandoned snack wrappers. No panic, no last-minute decisions, and definitely no caffeine-fueled insanity. But today? The madness is back in full force, and I’m ready to rock your world once again.

Hope your holiday was loud, chaotic, and full of legendary moments. Let’s keep the good vibes rolling into the New Year. 🎙️🎄

Stay tuned, stay wild, and stay awesome!

🎄 Merry Day-After Christmas, You Filthy Animals! 🎸

Hope you survived the chaos of unwrapping presents, dodging your weird uncle’s hugs, and navigating the glorious mess of spilled eggnog and questionable gifts. But hey, that’s what makes the holidays memorable, right?

Now it’s time to shake off the sugar-coated Hallmark nonsense and rock this recovery day like it’s a sold-out arena show. Whether you’re fueled by leftover pie, reheated coffee, or sheer determination, let’s keep the festive energy alive.

Because it’s not just Christmas—it’s rock ‘n’ roll, baby. Let’s make the rest of this holiday legendary… or at least incredibly memorable for all the wrong reasons. 🎙️

🎸 Rockin’ Birthday Shoutouts for December 26! 🎉

Alright, you beautiful headbangers, let’s raise a toast (or a guitar pick) to some legends born on this day who keep the spirit of rock alive:

🎂 Lars Ulrich (1963): The drum god and co-founder of Metallica, the man who gave thrash metal its relentless heartbeat. Without him, “Master of Puppets” wouldn’t hit quite the same.

🎂 Jared Leto (1971): Frontman of Thirty Seconds to Mars and the only guy who can scream on stage one night and win an Oscar the next. Rock star and actor—save some talent for the rest of us, man!

🎂 Chris Daughtry (1979): The powerhouse vocalist who turned “American Idol” into a launchpad for one of rock’s most successful bands. Still making bald look badass.

🎂 Henning Schmitz (1953): The Kraftwerk keyboard wizard who showed us that electronic beats could rock harder than guitars.

🎂 Paul Quinn (1951): Saxon’s riff master, proving that heavy metal’s roots run deep and loud.

🎙️ In Memoriam 🎙️
We’re also cranking the amps in honor of these legends who would have been celebrating today:

🔥 Phil Spector (1939): The “Wall of Sound” genius who shaped the soundtracks of countless lives. Sure, he was complicated, but the music? Iconic.

🔥 Chuck Mosley (1959): The original voice of Faith No More, bringing raw energy and unforgettable vibes to the alternative scene.

So, let’s blast their music loud and proud today—because rock never dies, and neither do the legends who make it. 🎶

🎸 Today’s Rock News, Rock King Style! 🎙️

Alright, kiddos, gather ‘round the amp. It’s time for your daily dose of rock ‘n’ roll chaos, brought to you by yours truly. Let’s shred through the headlines, shall we?

🔥 Rod Stewart’s Glasto Railway Adventure
So, Sir Rod Stewart isn’t just a rock legend—he’s also a train nerd. And guess what? He’s bringing his model railway to Glastonbury 2025. That’s right, folks, the man who gave us “Maggie May” is now giving us mini train stations on stage. Rock and rails? We’re here for it. Next stop: Legend Town. 🚂🎶

💷 British Music Industry: Still Rockin’, Still Broke
The UK music scene pulled in £7.6 billion last year, proving that rock ‘n’ roll is alive and well—even if your wallet isn’t. With legends like McCartney and Starr still jamming and Adele making us cry in the best way, Britain’s got talent. But between Brexit touring nightmares and aging rock gods, they’ve got some hurdles to clear. Cheer up, UK—you’ve got tea and The Beatles. 🍵🎸

🐆 L.A. Guns: Leopard Print and Loud Riffs
The kings of sleaze rock are back, baby! L.A. Guns just announced their new album, Leopard Skin, dropping in 2025. It’s the perfect soundtrack for your next questionable life choice. Tour dates are coming too, so get ready to sweat it out in the pit. Rawr. 🐆🎤

🎤 REO Speedwagon: Keep on Rollin’… Into Retirement
Pour one out for REO Speedwagon, who just played their final show. It’s the end of an era, folks. If you missed it, grab a box of tissues and check out the setlist online. They may have stopped touring, but their songs will keep rollin’ into our hearts forever. 🛤️🎶

🎄🎸 Merry Day-After Christmas, My Friends, My Fans, and My Minions!

Yesterday, we hit pause on the chaos to soak in the magic of the season—family, friends, and the kind of love that makes this time of year unforgettable. No airwaves, no madness, just moments that matter most.

Today, as the wrapping paper settles and the leftovers call your name, we hope you’re still riding the wave of peace, joy, and just enough rock ‘n’ roll to keep things interesting.

Thank you for rocking with us, for keeping the spirit alive, and for proving every day that you can’t spell rock without the RK! 🤘

Stay legendary,

 Video game soundtracks!

That’s right, folks—turns out those epic boss battle themes and dungeon crawlers’ background jams don’t just make you feel like a hero; they also turbocharge your workday. It’s science, baby. The repetitive beats and no-lyrics vibe help you focus, which means you’ll finally slay that email dragon.

Pro tip: Start with The Legend of Zelda or Halo soundtracks and watch your productivity bar level up. Just don’t blame me if you start calling your coworkers NPCs. 🎧🎮
