Oh sure, OK, it’s just me then.
Well then I offer a testimonial: Rock saved my life, a life that, prior to, had been filled with disco dance instructing, repeated visits to Studio 54, and fashion excess too terrible to retell. And then there was, in rapid succession, the Ramones, Eddie and the HotRods, and the Sex Pistols, cemented all by the Plasmatics live, all chainsaw and Wendy O. Williams (RIP), and finally there was the lock, stock, and barrel, and my purchase of the same.
It was/is great. I’m biased though. Biased because the dirty secret is, in a stunning refusal to age gracefully, or sanely, I still rock. Mic side for the band Oxbow. Rock in extremis. Which is code for, YES. Which is the answer to the question ARE YOU READY TO?
Rock, that is.
And we do and are. With the estimable LINDA PERRY, she of the producers Who’s Who of pop-post-punk-rock rock success from Pink to Gwen Stefani and Courtney Love to her present salon at Kung Fu Gardens and her take on EVERYTHING. Back this up with AL SCHMITT, DAVID Z, ELLIOT SCHEINER, JOE CHICCARELLI, ED CHERNEY, and PAT DILLETT on rock drums, HOWARD BILERMAN on A SILVER MT. ZION and ARCADE FIRE, and even the EQ exclusive on Stubblebine’s Signal Chain Shootout, and you might get the sense that we are ready to.
Rock, that is.
