Last week, I wrote about a band getting back together after being split apart for years in Oasis, but today I am writing about a band that is in a current feud — Jane’s Addiction.

If you have not seen the news just yet, two members of Jane’s Addiction literally got into a fight on stage.

Perry Ferrell, the frontman for the band, and Dave Navarro, the guitarist for the band and who some of you may know from his many television appearances, got into an altercation on stage last week.

During their show in Boston on Friday night, Perry rammed his shoulder into Navarro in the middle of performing a song.

But it didn’t stop there…

He then started throwing punches at Navarro until crew members came out to restrain Perry and take him off stage.

Jane’s Addiction was in the middle of playing a song called “Ocean Sized” when all of this went down.

Needless to say, this was the last song of their set that night.

Perry’s excuse for the altercation was that the band kept playing too loudly over him, and he felt no one could hear his vocals coming from the microphone.

Unfortunately, for fans of Jane’s Addiction, the band has canceled the rest of the tour.

I hope that whatever is going on with the band behind the scenes gets sorted out and everybody is all right.

Corey Perry From Jane's Addiction Visited Matt Cord In Studio...

I had the chance to meet Corey Perry when he dropped by the studios when I was doing my midday show on MMR.

It was just a little over 12 years ago on August 15, 2012.

Later that night, Jane’s Addiction played a show at The Mann Center, and they did a special private sound check for some lucky listeners who won passes on my show!

Perry and the rest of the band were really nice guys, so I hope they get everything in line and can one day have a reunion!

My 25-Mile Bike Ride With Casey Boy Preparing For Ben To The Shore

As many of you know after reading my post about the Stanley Cup from yesterday, I spent the last week on vacation down the Jersey shore.

And from many of my other posts before that, you know I enjoy going for some long bike rides — especially down the shore!

So what could be better than squeezing in a nice bike ride on a week's long vacation? Squeezing in a nice bike ride on a week’s long vacation with a great friend of mine, of course!

I got to go on a great ride with my buddy Casey Boy from The Preston and Steve Show on our sister station, WMMR.

We rode through multiple shore towns as we got in a practice ride in preparation for this Sunday’s Ben To The Shore ride! For those that don’t know, the Ben To The Shore Bike Tour is a charity event that raises funds for Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation, which is for the families of fallen first responders and police officers.

It is always a lot of fun and something I look forward to each year!

During our practice route, Casey Boy and I rode about 25.81 miles from Wildwood to Town Bank to Cape May Point to Cape May then all the way back to Wildwood where we started.

It was a great time and has me ready to conquer the 65-mile Ben To The Shore ride! This will actually be my tenth year riding in the event and each year it gets better and better.

If you are interested in donating, visit fbbcf.org or visit the Team WMMR Rock and Rollers page.

I can’t wait for Sunday and hopefully, the weather holds up for the ride! I’m sure there will be a lot of people on the ride for this great cause!

Who do you think will cross the finish line first, me or Casey Boy?

Casey Boy, Pattyann, and Myself

Here's a selfie Casey Boy took on our ride. It is of Casey, Pattyann, and myself. What a great crew.

Selfie on the Bridge

I took this during our ride. I'm not sure how I kept my balance! Just ahead of my leading the way are Casey and Pattyann.

Casey and Pattyann on the Bridge

Like I mentioned in the photo above, there they are leading the way. It's a tight bridge like many down the shore. Luckily, we all managed to make it across.

Welcome to Town Bank

The first sign you see in Town Bank. Apparently, it is the birthplace of the South Jersey. I wonder what it was like in 1635?

Willow Creek Winery

Outside the beautiful Willow Creek Winery. What a cool sign. We definitely needed to check this place out on the ride.

The Whole Winery From the Outside

The land the winery was on was beautiful. Look at those flowers! The property was huge.

Inside the Winery

You know we had to make our way into the winery! Riding on the bricks was not as hard as you would think. It was even cooler on the inside.

The Crew in the Winery

You know I had to grab a group picture inside the winery! I am actually wearing a jersey from a previous Ben To The Shore ride! I wonder what this year's will look like?

The Group

Just a group of people that love a good bike ride. I know we all can't wait for Sunday's ride. Hopefully, the weather is as nice as it was on this day!

The Map of Our Ride

The map of our 25-mile ride. We covered so much ground. It is nuts looking at it in map form!
