In a week full of celebrating rockstars and their restaurants, the guys dust off another food-related classic episode of the show (Episode 37) to talk about a notorious rumor that has long dogged one of the 70’s great vocalists.

A listener reaches out with a question about Hard Rock Cafe and the guys take it as an invitation to HUNGRILY investigate the history of rock n rollers owning eateries.   This episode is brought to you in part by Louder Than Life Music Festival.
