Fru Documents A World Upside Down in “So Crazy”

The Alchemist

“Why do I feel so insane?” That’s a question posed by Washington D.C. rapper, Fru in the single “So Crazy” from his forthcoming eighth studio album, 1980, but it’s a question many of us asked ourselves during the pandemic, during the national upheaval of partisan politics, and during a time when the world was reminded that racism is still a present-day issue with the murder of George Floyd and subsequent growth of the Black Lives Matter movement. The official music video for the track shows Fru in his home with snippets of various news headlines matching the tone of concern in Fru’s voice and lyrical journey through his thoughts and emotions. It’s an extremely personal video that many listeners and viewers will relate to as Fru uses the platform of hip-hop to dive into concerns over finances and health & well-being in a truly intimate experience. Check it out below:

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
