For what it’s worth — probably the best review of Rough and Rowdy Ways I’ve yet read. Great to have you back, John — I’ll welcome new reviews at whatever schedule you’re able to accommodate at this point in your life.

And I suppose this would be better suited for the guestbook but whatever the case — I found this site when I was first getting into music as a teenager, and you really introduced me to so many artists that have meant so much to me in my life, and it really is a beautiful thing to me that you’re still cranking out content at this point, despite the WRC’s gradual (and natural) fading-out. You’re still one of the very best rock writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading, and I’m glad you’re still keeping at it. A very sincere thank you for everything you’ve put out — I know I’m not alone.
