We saved flyers from my book signing at @RockFestWI. Wanna win one? Each is signed by @DarlaTheWonderDog and me! Get other stuff, too! Just Like and RT this! You also can win on my Facebook, Twitter or Threads. We pick one person randomly on each platform this Friday. Good Luck!

Music doesn't sound as good on Monday as it does on Friday.

POPPY! Here's Poppy at @RockFestWI. This was my first time catching her onstage, so I'll now add her to The List. That's the portion of my web site where we list each of the artists I've seen perform live. Check it out here: loubrutus.com/the-list #RockFest #RockFest2025 #Poppy

DROWNING POOL! It’s always great to see @DrowningPool but they were extra-exceptional this year at @RockFestWI. Here’s their amazing drummer Mike Luce, up close and personal. Sadly, I forgot to steal drumsticks while I was up there! 😝 #RockFest #RockFest2025 #DrowningPool

Darla the Wonder Dog and I hope you have an excellent Sunday! What have you got on tap for the day? #SundayFunday

BACK IN BLACK! Tonight on @HardDriveRadio XL we celebrate the 45th anniversary of the release of "Back in Black" from @ACDC. Along with music, host @LouBrutus will share thoughts on the record, including how it was in some ways a "Hail Mary" from the band. #ACDC #BackInBlack

SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL! One of the fiercer sets last weekend at @RockFestWI was @STPmetal. Here's a sample of my shots from the sun-baked photo pit. #RockFest #RockFest2025 #SlaughterToPrevail

Looking back at the Back to the Beginning concert, it's more apparent that Ozzy Osbourne absolutely willed himself to live long enough for the performance. It was a Herculean-effort to hold on for his friends and fans for one last show. Amazing. God Bless Ozzy. #ThursdayThoughts

Tonight on @HardDriveRadio XL our show is dedicated to Bobby Thomson who was @OzzyOsbourne's tour manager for over 23 years. He passed on this day in 2003 while on the road with Ozzfest. Here is a special pass from the collection of @LouBrutus for Bobby’s memorial. #OzzyOsbourne
