Here's the thing, I've got four bands that I can list. But of course, you'll deny ever having heard of any of them. I can point out that Progressive Rock legend Adrian Belew hired two kids out of the very first School of Rock and formed the Adrian Belew Power Trio with them.

I'm friends with many of their teachers, all of whom are working musicians, and they appreciate the opportunity to pass along their skills and enthusiasm to the next generation. Everybody starts out playing covers, it's how you build your tool set.

This was a day-long concert on the plaza in front of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, featuring various School of Rock, House bands and the AllStars, the very best from more than 350 locations. I traveled to Cleveland to shoot it, and then left the same night for Philadelphia.

I don't think anybody's fooling them that they're all going to be successful, just that they'll have the tools necessary to do so. As they advance in the program, they'll help teaching. If you can get four 8-year-olds to play Seven Nation Army, you can handle anything.

Doll Skin formed at the Scottsdale School of Rock, it's not listed in their Wikipedia page, but members of Hippo Campus were School of Rock alumni. Adrian Belew Hired the two members of the Adrian Belew Power Trio directly out of the original Paul Green School of Rock music.

These young people are in the House Band, and they auditioned to get into it. They're the best from their local school, and the best of those kids competes to become AllStars and go on a national tour. It's all competitive above the entry level, and you have to be very good.

I don't use a CPC mouthwash, but every night after brushing my teeth, the last thing that goes into my mouth is a 4 billion unit BLIS K12 lozenge. That gives it the opportunity to fully populate my oral biome with streptococcu salivarias.

It is definitely not karaoke. Every single note being sung and played was by those young people on the stage. I'm the person who shot it, and all I had was a stereo feed from the main board, and a pair of microphones to pick up the audience.

School of Rock is actually the least expensive method of music education. It's been a while since I checked, but it gets you 20 some hours of instruction for around $300 a month. These aren't rich kids. Since when was punk about gatekeeping?

Yes, he did. He never has owned a plumbing company but his own, but he worked for a man who did who was surprisingly generous.

I waited until I could see it in a fairly empty theater.

Just saw "Interstellar" at my local IMAX theater. Knowing this was a Christopher Nolan film, I made sure to pick up an open caption unit. Thank you, AMC Theaters! @AMCTheatres

My late wife died of cancer. We were lucky. She never chose a Medicare "Advantage" plan. Medicare A & B & had a low enough income on Social Security to qualify for Medicaid. No medical debt and never had to spend a minute on the phone with an insurance adjuster.

Why isn't this a thing? Does some scummy company have a patent on this?

Hey @madebygoogle! A friend of mine has Parkinson's and desperately needs to be able to answer his Google Pixel phone by pressing on one of the volume buttons or the power button. On screen buttons do not work when you have mobility issues. #pixel #android # accessibility

Another reason to wear a @flo_mask? To keep your lungs from freezing. I can work outside in the snow, perfectly comfortable.

The principal issue with working in a trade these days is that private equity is buying up the small local companies, and doing what they always do - increase prices and reduce wages to make more profit.

The best of luck for you and your partner. I was lucky enough that I could be with her everyday, and I believe it had a huge impact her the quality of life.

Thank you. I spent 16 months caring for her as much as I could, and trying to make her most fervent dreams come true. And we managed to make a few of them happen.

Fair enough. But he had the example of what happened to his uncle.
