CategoryHoagie Fest June 21st, 2009 by Roy (Philly Boy) Ziegler

Just wanted to say I hope you’re all havin’ a great Hoagie Fest.

I’ve taken a lot of heat for shuttin’ down Newbridge’s public transportation system (including cabs). But a new mayor wants to do something special for his employees and there ain’t nothin’ more special than takin’ a month-and-a-half off from work to enjoy fresh hoagies of all varieties.

To all you hoagie haters, it’ll do you good to walk to work. You think Mike Schmidt took the bus? Hell no! He ran to work…in cleats!

Ok, you may all sit down now,

The Honrable Roydon Ziegler

It’s been a busy couple years for Jon. He’s been touring the world non-stop with the Mountain Goats, Bob Mould, Superchunk and others. He just got done a UK tour with AC Newman, the solo project of New Pornographers leader, Carl Newman. You can read all about it over at Magnet Magazine.

Between the ramp up for the fundraising marathon, the two incredibly stressful weeks of the marathon, the inevitable post-marathon crash and the filming of a Nicholas Cage movie at the station during the 3/24 show, I feel that The Best Show has not been on its natural rhythm, as fun as some of those shows have been.

I got asked to write up my favorite rock and roll memories for a magazine called “Magnets.”

I will use the word ‘manque’ three times through the course of this review. But I do not use it in jest; it for a very serious reason. I volunteer for a charity called “Stroke Off”, which promotes the prevention of Type One (extremely low grade) heat stroke. More…

Today, I’m in the middle of a tour with a band called The Mountain Goats. I’m their drummer. It’s a wonderful experience. Today is my birthday and I am in Lubbock, TX. The last time I was here was September of 1991…. More…
