He's an important enough music blogger that indie-pop star Jeremy Messersmith personally delivered a CD to his house in south Minneapolis. Local promotions company Tinderbox Music also "services" him with all their albums.

Imagine how big he might be if he didn't also have to do his sixth-grade homework.

Field Middle School student Max Timander, 12, has taken blogging's egalitarian spirit to a new height, despite his lack thereof. He runs areyourockin.com, a reviewer-centric rock blog covering a smart mix of hot albums (the new Green Day "is so addicting," he says) and "retro" discs -- by early-'00s acts such as the White Stripes and David Gray.

Sometimes us TEA Party Fringe(sarcasm) Element need to remind each other of the wonderful things in life we are fighting for all of us to have a chance at. My particular interest turned to preventing abridgment of our rights to free speech and free press and material alteration of the Internet and Public (PEG) Access TV.

There are government activites occurring in various sectors of the Government, Media and utilities to restrict access the internet and Public Access TV. I encourage you to read:

At Stake: The Future of Getting News to Americans

and,

Notice to US Supreme Court in re: The Internet, Public Access TV & 1st Amendment Rights

Please write your US Congressman and Senator, if for no other reason than to prevent Max Timander's dream from be legislated away.

Respectfully,
