As most of you know already, we have members from various bands of some distinction hanging out here in the hallowed Hall. But I don’t think we have quite so many members from any one band as we do representing Philadelphia’s redoubtable Nixon’s Head<\/strong>. What concerns me isn’t so much that they’re (almost) all here — I think that’s great. It’s the fact that they use this forum to air their intra-band dirty laundry<\/strong>. It’s clear to me that they’re a band issuing a pathetic cry for help<\/strong> — and I think as fellow rockers and rock appreciators we owe it to them to respond with kindness and understanding. In an effort to help them begin the Healing<\/strong>, I’ve prepared a short question-and-answer form that I hope will help kick-start some constructive dialogue. Note that, in the same way abused children are given a teddy bear to help them point out where they’ve been hit or touched inappropriately, I thought I’d center this first discussion on a “neutral” topic through the miracle of YouTube. No Beatles, Motown, Sun Ra, Burton Cummings, jam bands, or Television here; we need to enter this dialog gently and non-threateningly.<\/p>\n

Here, then, is your Rock teddy bear<\/strong>, and here are your questions. Mr. Moderator<\/strong>, andyr<\/strong>, chickenfrank<\/strong>, and sethro<\/strong> — I hope you’ll all take a moment to stop and think about your answers and how they might make your fellow band-mates feel<\/em>.<\/p>
