In an unprecedented move, Dr. Hornet encourages the victims of his supervillain schemes to call into the show and tell him how he wronged them, live on the air. As an act of atonement, Dr. Hornet will play a song of their choice - even a song he hates. Will this begin a much-needed healing process and set the Doctor of Rock on the path of redemption? Or will forcing himself to sit through Dave Matthews Band’s “Jimi Thing” just push him over the edge?
