What do you do at Joyride? During the summer, I bartend a few nights a week. During the other months of the year, you’ll find me as an emergency fill in, or brewing one of my victory beers.

What do you do at Joyride? I was hired as a part time server in July of 2014 and my first shift was our second grand opening. I had never served before and this was the perfect opportunity for me to learn, as this particular shift nobody had to pay, it was a thank you to all of the people who helped get Joyride off the ground. I only had to get the right beer to the right person. I had a great…

Rubber Soul was groundbreaking, Revolver is possibly The Beatles at their best, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is perhaps their most important, and The White Album is their most diverse. But Abbey Road is most likely my favorite, and probably the one I listen to the most. There is just something about Abbey Road that makes me come back to it again and again. Perhaps, because it was the last album the group worked on together, it captures them…
In my opinion, Rubber Soul represents the exact moment in time when the Beatles were transitioning from their early day sound (like “A Hard Day’s Night”) to their studio masterpieces. However, this doesn’t mean Rubber Soul should be overlooked. In fact, if the band never made a record after Rubber Soul, they’d still be going to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Kind of like Michael Jordan coming out of retirement the first time to win his 2nd three-peat.…
