Here we are, readying for the Rumble Finals on Friday night.  These have been the most exhilarating and inspiring weeks of my year. There are so many of you to thank. Especially the 24 bands with whom I loved spending so many nights with. More of that to come. Let’s meet again Friday at TT the Bear’s. We have really cool things planned. And J. Po will be there! See you Friday.

Check out WBCN on Monday at 7pm and Thursday at 8pm to hear the show again.
