Townspeople,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you are healthy and abiding by your community’s social distancing practices. I’m keeping my hands as clean as Chris Martin’s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19 has thrown us for a loop. I don’t know about you, but all this time shut in the house has made me long for an outlet that not even social media can satisfy. I need to mix it up with my most-intimate music-loving friends. I need to call bullshit with you on some things and, more importantly, have bullshit called on myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not alone. A few of you have reached out to me and my close, personal friend sammymaudlin<\/strong> to ask if we could re-open the Halls of Rock, at least until we make it through this global pandemic. We’re brushing up things just enough to give us the rock-nerd shelter we may need to have the intimacy to kindly attack sacred cows, analyze the influence of facial hair on an artist’s musical development, and get a report on the Bill Wyman<\/strong> documentary on Netflix. This emergency trial re-opening of Rock Town Hall can even provide a safe haven for a discussion of Bob Dylan<\/strong>‘s new 17-minute song about the assassination of JFK, which I’ve been afraid to listen to without you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who knows where this goes? I hope it helps us through the coming months, if that’s what it’s going to take to get back out to clubs and backslap with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t hesitate to ask if you need a refresher on how to navigate things, how to post new content, simply how to log in. Of course, there is an auto-reset, if you’ve forgotten your password. Who could blame you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
