Reaching for lucidity 2.0 ep #409, Rocket City Riot and a Great Rock Mix
We have a great rock mix for you for show #409. Hell, we are so excited, we are releasing the show a day early! Be sure to hang around as we have a Juggernaut coming Friday, Aug. 14, as well.
We have some great new tunes from our Royal Court members Rocket City Riot, the return of Stupid Celebrity Crap, Celebrity Birthdays, and more. It is a packed show.
Rocket City Riot have two albums coming at you. For their 10th anniversary, they are re-recording their first album. How cool is that. We have Rocket Launcher from that album. For the second release, it is all new and tentatively titled “Saturday Night Angels.” We have “Where We Begin” from that release. It is great when we get new stuff from the Royal Court!
In the return of the Stupid Celebrity Crap segment, we have some goodies for you. Billy Mays liked the coke, and we don’t mean soft drinks, at least that is what his autopsy says. The Abdul, as in Paula, is being courted by both the dancing reality shows. Who would have thought she would work again? And just to round it out, Joaquin Phoenix is still batty, and decides to go shopping. Fun stuff.
Also, Shonen Knife is touring the States in Sept and October, how cool is that? Get the tour dates HERE!
Tunes on the Show

Was it the Cocaine that Got Billy Mays?
Billy Mays, the pitchman that launched many products into the world, may not have led a totally clean life. His autopsy, which revealed heart failure as the cause of death, also found cocaine as a contributing factor.
There was more in there as well. Reports also have Mays taking the prescription meds hydrocodone, oxycodone, and tramadol for pain, and the anti-anxiety drugs alprazolam and diazepam.*
That is quite a cocktail. I can’t imagine cocaine mixing well with those other meds, or with a heart condition.
The family is not happy with this finding and are seeking an independent autopsy to clear Mays of cocaine use.
I hope the family gets the answers they are looking for. If the cocaine use is true and contributed to Mays’ death, that is yet another tragedy to add to the books in the world of celebrity.
Talk about eating your own. It is sad.
