We're a little late on this new item, but I'd forgotten all about this story. In light of Scott Halpin's passing, why not take a few moments to reflect on just about any young rock musician's dream? Here's a link to an NPR interview with Halpin, who was recruited from the audience at a 1973 San Francisco show to sub in for a wasted Keith Moon. Following is a clip of the young man's trial by fire!

I know Townsman Chickenfrank once did mop-up duty for a member of The Replacements. Anyone else ever get such a last-minute call, even for a local band?

Previously, in the News!

Yeesh, but that clip is lame. Through only partial fault of the drummer, I might add.

FIRST TIME HERE? Rock Town Hall is a place to discuss - and debate - self-important topics in the world of rock 'n roll as we know it, love it, and hate it. Overlooked gems, overrated albums, and sideburns are always open for discussion. Lurk and enjoy the show, or better yet REGISTER and play along. The only requirement is that you love the Rock. The USER'S GUIDE, has the low down on how to jump in. Your knowledge level is unimportant. In the mix of truth tellers, true believers, wiseacres, blowhards, and plainspoken rock fans, whatever nerdiness, earnestness, silliness, and passion you bring to the table will find a place. If you get lost, you can always click the Rock Town Hall banner at the top to return to the MAIN STAGE.
