Season 3 Episode 30: R.I.P. Ozzy + #FreshCuts Vol. 70

We start the episode paying tribute to the late great Ozzy Osbourne before getting into our songs of the week in #FreshCuts Vol. 70. Nathan Ferrell, Steve Strait, Wellington Davis, and Claire Knight join your host Burke Wasson. We discuss the changing dynamics of the crowd at live shows, Trent Reznor making songs for Disney movies, and we ponder if The Midlife Critics are a curse or in tune with the world. You'll also hear a clip of Bryan Mosby rapping to Wu-Tang Clan.
