ESPN (or EXPN, make up your mind guys) has a short article called Skate Rock Refined that talks about the musical projects of some pro skaters. It leads off with Danny Way and Bob Burnquist’s band Escalera, and eventually gets around to Tommy Guerrero, Ray Barbee, Matt Rodriguez and Chuck Treece. Did you know that Barbee got his first guitar from Stacy Peralta? Check it out.
Speaking of rock and roll, Linda Stein was found murdered in her apartment. Who was she? Among other things, a former Ramones manager and ex wife of Seymour Stein, the founder of Sire Records, the Ramones record label for 11 of their 14 full length studio recordings.

“Skateboarding and it’s not-so-silent partner, music, have been inextricably linked in the subcultural fabric since skateboarding’s inception.”
In that case you’re gonna have to go a bit further back in time to tunes like Ray Charles’ “Hit the Road Jack”.

Linda Stein also was a rock and roll real estate mogul! My boyfriend and I are going to Jersey next summer to visit Joey.
