ROCK WEEK!!!

There’s so much ROCK going down I can barely contain myself, nor do I WANT to! Holy shitzu! Even more rocking than all the ROCK being tossed about, is the fact that December 14 is the 9th anniversary of my Bat Mitzvah, upon which I ROCKED THE TORAH! ROCK events are appropriately bolded. Observe:

And, because I feel obligated to feed any and all hype, this video by LEVY makes me feel uncomfortable like Dov Charney (thanks, Will). It does not rock. But this song does. (thanks Hawk!)
