Welcome to A Rock ‘N Roll life, I’m your host, J. Allen Bell. You may remember me from such other columns as Entertain This! or Sacrilecious over at The Scoop News (shameless plug). Hopefully you don’t remember me from that stint I did in Guantanamo a couple years back for jokingly referring to my penis as a weapon of mass destruction as I boarded a plane to Boston. That was a mistake and I should never have done that. What I should have done was to refer to my penis as The O-tamatic.

But I’m not here to talk about mistakes in my life or nicknames for penises. I’m here to talk about music and how it all fits into our lives. At least that’s the plan. I may diverge from that topic from time to time but essentially, that’s what this column is about – hence the name.
Now I know the title of the column references only a single genre of music but rest assured dear reader – I’ll cover the gamete. No life is structured so stubbornly as to adhere to a single genre. Well, maybe there are people out there that are identifiable by a single music source but I bet those people are lame. George W. Bush… he only has one genre in him. I don’t know what genre it is, but I do know that it sucks. Ok, I’m sorry dear reader – I promise no more politics. I had to just get that last little bit out of my system. Politics is depressing and a topic better suited for The Scoop News (another shameless plug).

Music has always been a major catalyst in my life. I’ve played music, listened to music, seen music, made music, traveled great distances for music and even pretended to understand music on a couple of occasions. Those experiences, like the ones you’ve had yourself, influenced or affected my life in ways I can’t even imagine. I’m going to try to imaging though. I’m going to try and figure out my life, your life, any life and the music therein and lay it all out in this very space every couple of weeks. That’s just the kind of guy I am. That’s how I roll (as the kids say).

So from here on out, please enjoy my column, A Rock ‘N Roll Life, and go tell all your friends about this wonderful site we’ve created for you so I can sell it to some mega-rich internet company and retire.

Peas.

J. Allen
