My friends in the band Spanking Charlene kicked out the jams last night in one of New York City's rock 'n' roll valhallas, the Bowery Ballroom. They kindly invited me out to play harmonica on one song, which was a real thrill because it was the first time in almost a dozen years of musical striving that I set foot on the vaunted Bowery Ballroom stage. I got an all access pass, too. Here's the view from sidestage, all energy and glory.
Backstage? Coke and strippers!
Note how jaded Charlene looks. What a rock star.
