Have you ever had one of those weeks where you get to the end of it and aren’t sure what way’s up and what way’s down?
I feel like its been one of those weeks around here. Changing backgrounds, evolving within the system, and making sure the chaos gremlins are fed BEFORE midnight has been taking it’s toll on the kingdom. That being said, I’m glad you’re here and do I have a Full Throttle Friday planned for you! Hope you can keep up.
If you’re missing out on Manda leaving memes, Bobby being a smart alec, and the collection of Chaos Companions by our sides,

Surveys, Studies & Such
What is your Guilty Pleasure Song?
New research on "guilty pleasure" music found that the phrase itself may be doing psychological harm. The study found that people who describe music they enjoy as "guilty pleasures" report lower baseline satisfaction with their own taste and are more likely to hide authentic preferences from others. The researchers argue there is no such thing as a guilty pleasure in music — only music you enjoy and music you don't. The guilt is entirely socially constructed. The enjoyment is real. And you know how we feel about trying to play in the societal “safe” sandbox…
Tell us in show what the song is the makes your heart happy and where you first heard it
Would you Rather? Punk or Power Ballad Forever?

& Don’t Forget Your Crown
After the week we’ve had, I don’t think you can do much better than International Whisky Day on a Friday. So whether you take it straight, on the rocks, or mixed into a drink that pretends to hide it, remember to enjoy responsibly and celebrate safely.

BACKSTAGE REBELLION – THE DAY U2 PICKED A FIGHT WITH THE SYSTEM
On this date in 1987, U2 didn’t just shoot a music video… they staged a rock and roll incident.
We’re talking about “Where the Streets Have No Name”—filmed on a rooftop in downtown Los Angeles. No big permits. No playing it safe. Just amps, attitude, and a band ready to push buttons.
Frontman Bono later said it straight up:
“We wanted the police to come. We wanted to be stopped. We wanted the tension.”
And guess what?
They got exactly that.
Cops showed up. The crowd grew. Chaos started creeping in. And right in the middle of it all—U2 kept playing like nothing else mattered.
That’s the thing about real music… it’s not always clean, it’s not always controlled, and it sure as hell isn’t always convenient.
Sometimes it’s loud.
Sometimes it’s risky.
And sometimes… it’s worth getting shut down for.
!!!NEW ROCK KING MERCH!!!!
WEAR THE CROWN. BRING THE CHAOS.
This ain’t just a t-shirt—it’s a statement.
The Rock King Skull Crown Tee is for the loud ones, the rebels, the ones who don’t ask permission—they turn the volume up and deal with the consequences later.
Soft feel. Hard attitude.
Throw it on and let ‘em know exactly what you’re tuned into.
Rock ain’t dead… it just found its crown.
Things I Didn’t Say on Air
You know me, I can’t ever keep my mouth shut but check this out.
In 1987, U2 climbed to a rooftop in downtown Los Angeles — no permits, no permission, no platform approval — and played Where The Streets Have No Name until the cops showed up.
Bono said it straight: "We wanted to be stopped. We wanted the tension."
Your Rock King Bobby D thinks about that every single day. Because these platforms are taking up to fifty percent of what creators earn.
-You bring the talent.
-You build the audience.
-You show up every day with your voice and your time and your soul — and somebody who never picked up a microphone takes half.
-Then they tell you what to say. When to say it. Whether anyone even sees it.
U2 didn't file the paperwork. They climbed the roof and played. The roof still exists. And the people who find it — the ones who refuse to sit in the approved content box and wait for an algorithm to decide their worth — those are the ones who change things.
Turn it up louder than they can ignore. That is the only play that has ever worked.
— Your Rock King Bobby D
