Welcome in festive flats and snowy sharps! It’s the very first holiday episode of In the Key of Brie! And who could be a better guest for such an episode than Nick Wilkinson? They’re bearded and kind-eyed, with cheeks rosy from this bitter cold, but they assured me that they’re NOT Santa. What they are is a music fan! Specifically, they came on to chat all about the biggest rock spats in history! What could be a better topic for the most wonderful time of the year? It’s a group of people who are emotionally close screaming and yelling at each other! If this all hits too close to home (pun intended), oof, I hope your holidays are peaceful! But as for the members of Fleetwood Mac, Oasis, Styx, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, The Pixies…. Well, a lot of bands… let’s get some enjoyment out of listening to their tunes and tales of ensemble woe!
P.S.- Sorry we ran out of time before we got to The Replacements!
