I am the musical liaison for what has been anywhere from four to 16 bands that perform and practice here.

In response to a message asking how to deal with a wife who can’t appreciate a man’s love for shrill indulgent prog-metal band Rush Joe writes “There are some things I can joke about but one of them is not Rush. To me they are the musical equivalent of a chipped tooth. Bands like Rush are the reason I got into heroin. ”But it’s this attitude the ‘who-gives-a-fuck one’ that’s helped Joe get through his addiction to drugs and alcohol and stay completely clean for three years. He hints at a side he rarely shows in interviews and usually saves he says for the AA meetings and kids who seek out advice from him.
