It's a halloween miracle... RHCP charms a school assembly and simultaneously wins the heart of a former foe.
Who rocks out at 9:30am at my kids’ school?....We do! Chad Smith (@RHCPchad)

HOLD MY BACKPACK, WITCHES; I'M CROWDSURFIN'
Not only did Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Viewpoint Elementary Great Pumpkin headlining show rock the student body, their performance may have squashed a nasty beef with multi-talented 80s heart throb, Mr. Scott Baio. You read that right.
Not only did Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Viewpoint Elementary Great Pumpkin headlining show rock the student body, their performance may have squashed a nasty beef with multi-talented 80s heart throb, Mr. Scott Baio. You read that right.
Let me break it down for you. RHCP drummer Chad Smith and Baio both send their kids to Viewpoint. When Donald Trump was bragging about grabbing "p*ssy," as noted in "When You're A Star, You Can Do Anything" celebrity handbook," Chad's wife confronted Baio for being a Trump supporter. Sadly, the situation escalated and Baio filed assault charges which were ultimately dismissed but that probably didn't make school any less awkward for the parents or the kids.
Fast Forward to The Great Pumpkin Show and the curiosity was killing me. Could they, would they hug it out?
So no, maybe they're wasn't an onstage collab but Baio did give a standing (Bai)O. And really, how much do you want to bet it was a slow clap in true 80s form? As for whether Baio's tweet was genuine or hyperbole, I don't know… maybe for once, it was a well-intended start of accountability/honesty. Owning mistakes, apologizing and moving forward. Maybe.
More importantly, these kids had the sweetest assembly in the history of school assemblies. Even the reptile guy would have agree to that.

Nine Inch Nails Doesn't Need The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, They Have Dance Party USA.
Didn't Trent always seem incredibly intimidating? Maybe he is or maybe he was… but the man sounds like a GOD DAMN DELIGHT, in this new Q&A with Stereogum.
The discussion covers a myriad of topics, including scoring films and TV, NIN's latest album, the decision to do an intimate tour, and (headlining-ly) the zero f*cks given regarding The RnR Hall Of Fame snub.
As for the brilliance that is their Dance Party USA appearance?
"[Laughs] Yeah, very well. You have to remember, we were at zero. We were from Cleveland and we were on big powerful TVT Records right? I think "Down In It" had come out, we're in New York, and we're friends with our publicist and she's like, "Hey, are there any TV shows that you guys wanna do?" And I remember we had watched that show 'cause it was so fuckin' stupid, right? And I said "Yeah, fuckin' Dance Party USA, get us on that one." As a joke, kind of. And then she says the next day, or shortly thereafter, "Hey, I got you on Dance Party USA, it films over in New Jersey, you wanna do it?" “F*ck yeah, let's do it!" Not thinking that 30 years later ... But when we got there, we didn't take it seriously, it was so absurd and people looked ridiculous. Even at the time, they looked ridiculous. We looked ridiculous. But I remember trying not to laugh while we were doing it. We were just trying to make it another month in our career."
