“ Heck, no one knows if the internet will still be around in ten years— Rock-IT! Towne by Mark Streuber This is about the music and the bands who made it.

Towne by Mark Streuber This is about the music and the bands who made it. And this is about all those unlikely people who became stars and then fell from the sky and had to scratch out a living to make ends meet at some crap job when their hit machine ran dry and their money ran out. And it’s about the fans who played their music on their first date, and their first prom, and when they cruised the street in their first car. The fans who cried during their first breakup, or first divorce, who jumped for joy during the birth of their child, or first big promotion. This is about the people who want to remember the good times— and the bad, I guess— and relive a happier time when they still had rock ‘n’ roll, and they still had something to believe in. That’s what this website is about. It’s not only about where they are now — or about the money— Rock-IT! Towne by Mark Streuber Rockers were pretty good at unzipping their fly on their own. They didn’t need a snot-nosed journalist to unzip it for them— Rock-IT! Towne by Mark Streuber You keep thinking this band will turn up, and maybe they will. But if you ain’t found ‘em yet, it’s a good bet your band has drowned…. Every band gets swept out to sea at one time or another. Most make it back to shore, but some don’t. I think your band has drowned and you ain’t never gonna see ‘em again— Rock-IT! Towne by Mark Streuber Be careful… The First Cut is the Deepest, as Rod Stewart once sang. But the second cut is pretty deep too— Rock-IT! Towne by Mark Streuber I knew them well enough. I knew they were as dysfunctional as any band I ever worked with. Although, I don’t think they used the word dysfunctional back then. I think they used words like screwed up—Rock-IT! Towne by Mark Streuber Seems she was more agreeable to you being here. For my part, I wanted to put you both in a sack and drop you into Lake Winona— Rock-IT! Towne by Mark Streuber Yeah, well. One man’s truth can be another man’s dagger to the heart— Rock-IT! Towne by Mark Streuber People move on, Jonathan. Rock music moved on. It was never gonna last. You write for a rock magazine. You of all people should know that… Yes, but it didn’t disappear without a trace— Rock-IT! Towne by Mark Streuber Fame, money, prestige, power. It’s what we think we want until we find out how it destroys as easily as it helps. I know that from personal experience— Rock-IT! Towne by Mark Streuber ...more ”
