Having played two shows last weekend with some awesome bands at some cool places, I feel I gotta testify… I gotta talk to you about Rock and Roll! True Rock and Roll! Ya, see people don’t understand the real meaning of Rock and Roll anymore. But I’m here to school ya. You [...] Sorry, I lack motivation or inspiration this week.
