Rock and Roll Globe

Every few months, a rock and roll trend goes viral on Facebook, such as "Ten Records That Have Influenced You Most" or "An 80s Song a Day." If you have friends who are passionate about music and skilled writers, these trends can lead to some truly captivating and thought-provoking music discussions. The person who starts these conversations enjoys the thrill of likes and lively comments, but they often miss out on earning money or sharing their insights with anyone outside their friend circle. Rock and Roll Globe was created to give writers a space to express their personal musical thoughts and experiences to a wider audience. I am confident in the effectiveness of this idea. During my nearly five years as editor of the New York Observer, my talented team and I, all musicians ourselves, discovered remarkable writers and allowed them the freedom to express their views. We successfully built a community of fans, critics, musicians, and industry professionals who regularly visited the Observer's music section for fresh and intriguing perspectives on all kinds of music. That’s the vision behind Rock and Roll Globe. Thank you for your attention.
