This week Al and Bill are joined Pop Break senior writer Laura Dengrove — who still holds the distinction of being the youngest person to ever write for Pop Break. The trio discusses LiveNation’s plans on potentially instituting drive-in concerts, which of course leads into conversations about the future of concert venues, and why on earth we don’t have more drive-in movie theaters. They also discuss the updated version of Robin Sparkles’ “Let’s Go to the Mall” from How I Met Your Mother, plus they look at the groundbreaking news that Nicolas Cage was cast as Joe Exotic.
This Week’s Music in a Time of Quarantine:
Al’s Pick: ‘Saint Simon‘ by The Shins
Bill’s Pick: Music From The Skywalker Saga by John Williams
Laura’s Pick: ‘Forever (Separate But Together)‘ by CHVRCHES
