A number of new Townspeople have registered in the past week. That’s awesome. I bet I’m not alone in wanting to get a sense of what makes them tick, and I bet they’re looking for any opportunity to show off their rock wisdom and wit. In that case, it’s time for a rapid-fire round of Dugout Chatter<\/strong>. If you don’t know the drill it’s easy: provide your gut answers to the following questions. There’s no wrong answer and probably no right one. Just <\/em>your answer. Long-time Townspeople, how ’bout you lead by example?<\/em><\/p>\n

Which lead singer do you least<\/em> enjoy seeing dance on stage?<\/p>\n

What’s the most impressive percussion\u00a0feat<\/strong> in rock?<\/p>\n

What’s the most played-out PR angle<\/strong> in rock:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The keee-raaay-zeeee<\/em> genius bandleader.<\/li>\n
  2. “Is he\/she or isn’t he\/she” (ie, gay, bisexual, a drug addict, etc)?<\/li>\n
  3. “[Artist] sucked so much on Saturday Night Live<\/em> that you’ve got to check them out!”<\/li>\n
  4. [Artist] is “classically trained.”<\/li>\n
  5. Other?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If Little Feat<\/strong> is best appreciated hungover<\/a>, what artist might skeptics best-appreciate after eating too much?<\/p>\n

    Yesterday both Etta James<\/a><\/strong> and Johnny Otis<\/strong><\/a> died. They were undoubtedly great men<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0What do you believe is the reason the Hall has not yet provided a distinct obituary?<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The Moderator is sincerely ignorant of their music and no one else has yet written up their deaths.<\/li>\n
    2. The Moderator never saw that movie in which Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong> played James.<\/li>\n
    3. The Moderator saw that movie in which Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong> played James.<\/li>\n
    4. Their brand of “race music” fell just outside the strict bounds of Rock Town Hall discussion.<\/li>\n
    5. I hadn’t heard they died. Thank you, Rock Town Hall, my relatively timely one-stop for all rock ‘n roll-related news!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      What treasured and celebrated regional style of music<\/strong> is actually most difficult to grasp for folks outside that region?<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Zydeco.<\/li>\n
      2. The Sound of Philadelphia.<\/li>\n
      3. Heartland Rock.<\/li>\n
      4. The zip code-specific soundtrack music selected for use in Garden State<\/em>.<\/li>\n
      5. Other.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        I look forward to your responses<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
