BY JOE FRIARMusic has always been an important part of my life. The first album I ever bought was Queen's "News Of The World" when I was 13. It changed my life. Three years later, I attended my first concert, The Rolling Stones, at the Astrodome. Fast forward past hundreds of shows - being a roadie and deejaying in clubs, to hosting my own radio show. It's been a crazy ride, and music has always been a part of it. So, I look forward to bringing you the latest music-related news and concert information every Friday through my new music column, B.P.M. (Beats Per Minute).
