Last week’s Rockucation question was Tom Morello and Chris Cornell were in a super group together, what was the band name? This weeks answer comes from David Englund, from Warwick, RI. The answer is Audioslave.
Just a side note, after I posted the answer to the previous week’s question, I received a ton of responses that they knew it was Tom Petty, that it was easy and thought someone else got it. I will tell you, if you know it always answer it no matter what. This is your second PSA this week.

Any thoughts on bands to have to pay to be in the Super Bowl halftime show? Not sure any money is worth that because you know the NFL is going to want huge money for it. As it is, they pretty much get everything for free in the host city now and make most of the money. I say don’t pay to play and see what happens to the coveted halftime show if no one performs.
