Tuesday began early. (Every day begins early, yo.) One of my duties since Rock Camp L.A.’s inception has been to greet the campers as they arrive for the day. I get to Camp early, grab a coffee and…
Rock Camp for Girls – L.A.: Day 1 – Monday
6:02 am… This is the time I’d planned to wake. Instead, I woke at 4:45 and have been up ever since. My head is crazy-full of Rock Camp thoughts! I’ve just finished some yoga stretches and the…
Laughter! Tears! Flashmob!
The final movement of Beethoven’s 9th is beautiful in its own right. When it gets Primo Flashmob Treatment, well, let’s just say I shed many a joyous tear while laughing raucously. I hope you do, too.

I was in the studio this past week, working on a demo of a new song. It’s been quite a while since my last studio sessions. Believe me when I tell you I was more than a little…
Adam “MCA” Yauch, RIP
