The Scoop for Sept. 27, 2018

It was only a matter of time, but President Trump weighed in on the sexual assault accusations against Brett Kavanaugh. He used the word “con” six or seven times. Color me wrong, but I think the President has some doubts about the accusations, but I could be reading into things.

KISS has announced their final farewell tour. I know, but Paul Stanley acknowledged that at 66, his voice doesn’t sound like it did back in ’76. But Paul says if you want to hear him sound like he did on KISS Alive, then, quote, “…put on KISS Alive.” Pretty solid advice. Also, note to self, dig out my KISS Alive II CD. Man that was such a solid album.

If you think Toy Story 3 gave you all the feels, Tim Allen says then get ready for Toy Story 4. Tim says he could barely get through the last scene because it was soo emotional.
Great. Because a grown man crying during a cartoon is super appealing. Who am I kidding, I lose it every time Sarah McLachlan comes on the screen with that dog. You know the one.

Bonus Scoopage: We get a bunch more Tom Petty music tomorrow. Four CDs of it as a matter of fact. It’s called American Treasure and is scheduled for release tomorrow (September 28). The set will include previously unreleased live and studio material and alternate versions — 60 songs in total. That’s a lot of new Petty. And I’m so looking forward to it.
