    Great Scott! There’s a guitar out there that’s been lost in time—and now, Michael J. Fox and Gibson are asking for your help to bring it back to the future.

We gave NICK 2 hours of live airtime to play vinyl OUTSIDE A STUDIO!? Why? Because chaos is part of the vibe, baby! 🎶 Catch it live from Black Dog Vinyl Cafe or on air. 📻 Record Store Day 2025 = unpredictable. Vinyl - food - beer - coffee - concert tix! #RSD25 https://t.co/oE7BgF2aHq
