A lot has happened in the past week. Georgia is projected to go blue in the Presidential election for the first time since 1992. Shout out to Stacey Abrams for using the two years after losing her run for Governor to fight voter suppression. Arizona has gone blue for only the second time in more than seven decades.*

The Foo Fighters also performed on SNL to debut their new song “Shame Shame”. As well as fan-favorite “Times Like These”. **

They then announced that their tenth studio album Medicine at Midnight will be dropping February 5,2021. In a Twitter Q&A, Dave Grohl said that when writing the song of the same name it didn’t deal with actual medicine or COVID-19. It is about when you have that last alcoholic beverage to go to sleep.***

According to Nielsen's market data, total alcohol sales outside of bars and restaurants have surged roughly 24% during the pandemic. They found sales of spirits with higher alcohol content rose even faster, a more than 27% increase over last year.****

It would seem that more than just the Foo Fighters have been expanding their alcohol consumption in 2020. Instead of waiting out until concerts can resume, we all can listen to new Foo’s while quarantining.

Grohl has said that they recorded Medicine at Midnight in a haunted house instead of a studio. The band even set up a baby monitor to see if they could catch physical evidence of the eerie things happening.***** As it’s the second Friday the 13th of 2020, may we prepare for

Another season of loneliness.******
