"I just wish that Rage Against The Machine would make a new record!": Buckcherry's Josh Todd on the state of the nation, managing old habits, and going back to school

You’ll struggle to find many bands that still sound exuberant and sharply focused nearly a dozen albums in, but California rockers Buckcherry are one of them. Last summer, they released the rip-roaring Roar Like Thunder, the latest in a run of strong records. And talking to frontman Josh Todd, now 55, you get the sense that there’s plenty more gas in the tank.
