After suffering through what was most definitely the rainiest, dreariest, most super un-fun June in memory, we’ve finally gotten our much-coveted NYC summer weather!

The Clash in 1977 (Terry Chimes Far Left)

I’m a big fan and enthusiastic supporter of both rock drummers and practitioners of alternative healing modalities. Personally, my chiropractor saved my sanity, so I was pretty excited today to learn that former Clash Drummer, Terry Chimes has been a professional acupuncturist and Chiropractor since 1996! I’m betting he’s the only Chiropractor in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame!
