THE OFFSPRING guitarist Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman also chimed in, writing:
"I wouldn't depend on either Joe Rogan or Neil Young for medical advice. Only Neil young seems to understand why. Even Spotify doesn't understand why. But that's not really their job is it? The job is yours, and some of you are really falling down on it."

On their Facebook page, they wrote, "After decades of brotherhood, touring the world and making great records together, we have decided to no longer continue on as a band. Above all, we want to express our sincere gratitude to every single one of you who have supported us. We could not have done any of it without you. Love Always, The Mighty Mighty BossToneS"

The Most and Least Distracting Songs to Drive To
There's a British website called PassMeFast that offers driving classes . . . although if you ask me, the name doesn't exactly suit the business.
But that's not the point. The point is that they came up with some cheesy formula that allowed them to determine the most and least distracting songs to drive to.
In a nutshell, the most distracting songs have high energy and are emotionally charged, but have low danceability . . . which basically means an irregular beat or tempo.
And the three MOST distracting songs are "Hey Ya" by Outkast . . . "Mr. Brightside" by the Killers . . . and "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z. (With the mighty "Take On Me" by A-Ha coming in fourth!!!)
The three LEAST distracting songs are "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish . . . "July" by Noah Cyrus . . . and "Bruises" by Lewis Capaldi.
