Are the legends of pop really who we are taught to believe they are? Do the classics really hold up? Welcome to a biased, personal, and opinionated dissemination of the pop canon. Were the bands that changed our lives false idols? Was everything the past generations taught us a lie? Is it better to burn out than to fade away? What is the Greatest Of All Time? What is G.O.A.T.?

    Tool (w. Pat King)

    Today we're joined by Pat King ("Metro NY", Labrador) to discuss the band occupying the #1 spot on the billboard charts: Tool.
