Dear Cherguevara, 2000Man, Scott (the other one), Trigmogigmo, Nothcovanman, Cliffsofinsanity, Al, Happiness Stan, Alex Magic, and anyone one else I might have forgotten, (and of course, the Moderator),

I started a Music League with some RTH alums but I’m missing some of your email addresses. The Music league is an app. Every week there is a prompt (ie Songs with a color in the title). We all pick a song, Spotify generates a playlist, we all vote on the songs, and much squabbling ensures. If you want in, email me at thedonutsrock@gmail.com

I hope all is well.

Greetings Fellow Citizens,

Since it’s been quiet around here, it might be a good time for an All-Star Jam! Plug in your axe, take your amp off standby, grab your sticks, figure out which bass string is E and let this thread open the door to intelligent rock and roll discourse!

1. What do you think of this performance of “Let My Love Open the Door?” Do you have any comments on the song, the performance, the fashion choices or anything else?

2. You’ve been given the opportunity to form a band for your favorite underrated songwriter or singer/front-person. Who is the “star” and who is in the band? You want to put together a surprising yet appropriate group. What unlikely or never-considered musical collaboration would you put together?

3. Uh-oh, your favorite underrated songwriter turned out to be difficult to work with! You’ve decided to scrap that band and put together the worst possible band, just to be creatively vengeful. Who is in this band now?

4. Have you ever been to a show headlined by a known artist (ie not a “local” band) where the audience cleared out? Who was the artist and why did everyone leave?

5. What is the best guitar solo in the Beatles catalog?

6. Do accordions belong in rock music?

7. Odd meters (talking songs in 5, 7, etc): are they pretentious? Do you have a favorite song in an odd meter?

8. What have you been listening to lately? Have you found any interesting music that is new or new to you?

I look forward to your responses, citizens.
