It’s our final #Detroit “car-cast” for this holiday weekend trip. Speaking of the holiday weekend, none of it would be possible without our vets so a big Thank You on this #VeteransDay! There’s lots of news to get to. The #Robinson Bros are reuniting the #BlackCrowes and will play their landmark 1990 album in its entirety. While the Robinsons are no longer feuding, emotions are apparently raw between the brothers #BobKulick and #BruceKulick. It’s all reportedly about merchandise, the #KISS connection and more. Finally, we’ve learned #RicOcasek left his estranged wife out of his will. We look at the drama there.
