Hey, my name's Joel and I am 14 years old. I have brown eyes, and naturally jet-black hair that's pretty long, well, for a guy that is. My hair's always been very black and a bit longer than most guys'. I'm really into music, especially punk, rock, classic rock n roll, emo, and a little bit of pop. I learnt to play guitar when I was a kid, and I've been playing like a pro ever since. I've always thought of putting a band together, but never got the chance. I live in a little town called Roscoe, I just came out of middle school, and this fall, I'm heading into Henry Roscoe High School as a freshman.
Ugghh I hate living in Roscoe. Its just so fricken boring. The only thing here more interesting than the worlds largest pitchfork is Mickey's Discs, the local hangout my friends and me always go to. Mickey always has the most up-to-date music and it's a hobby of mine to search through his oddly organized collection to look 4 any new bands. Another awesome place to look out for new music is Radio Free Roscoe, the best radio station EVER.
Apart from the lowdown (I can't believe I just said lowdown) on the best new bands out, they're not scared of expressing their own views and opinions, something a lot of radio stations are. You can always expect to find real conflicts being dealt with by real people, just in a different way. No ads, no sugar-coated crap, no manufactured personalities no nothing. These four people have said a whole lot of stuff most of the people in Roscoe have never even imagined of saying. They all seem to pull together, too even though they are so much different.
Question Mark, the head deejay brought up all the thoughts and opinions. You could say he was the trigger of the gun. No matter the day, he always had something to say, and the right way to say it. Then again, I missed a few of their shows so I'm not sure if he was always on top.
Shady Lane was the musical, as well as female force of RFR. In a group surrounded by guys, she really held her ground. Especially with the female listeners who call in. Also, she was a musician herself, and she always has new material that goes along with whatever QM is talking about. Plus, she always has the latest news on new bands and music as well as where they are performing.
Pronto was the funny class clown, court jester kind of person, and can always find a more humorous perspective on any of QM's rants. However, I think that sometimes he kind of goes overboard with his jokes, and overshadows the more serious and important issues.
My favourite of all, was of course, Smog. He was the shy, quiet person of the group, but when he does talk, it's guaranteed to be something important. He was always the wise man of the group and careful with the comments he makes. He had this inner archive of quotes and that always had the deepest meaning, giving everyone something to think about.
Of course, that was more than 3 years ago, and the 88.1 frequency at Roscoe has since been silent. But I'm going to change that. How? You'll see…
(Hope everyone likes the story remember, R&R)
