  Play Now [9:36]

September 18, 2018

Capital One used "Let's Go Crazy" in an ad that aired during the Emmys, and fans were not thrilled about it. Also today: a member of Pussy Riot may have been poisoned, Kanye's playing SNL, Bob Seger's hitting the road one last time, musicians are boycotting SiriusXM, and we remember "King of the Honkers" Big Jay McNeely.
