Among other things, it was like taking a crash course in American history.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMaintaining hope seems to be the only method of dealing with the virus day to day,\u201d said Weinberg. \u201cHope that sooner rather than later science will develop the answer as it historically does. In the meantime, I think the Hard Rock Cafe motto seems especially apropos: ‘Love All – Serve All.’\u00a0 I would add wear your mask, stay socially distanced, don\u2019t screw around with other people\u2019s lives, and VOTE!”<\/p>\n Drummer Max Weinberg has kept the beat for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band since 1974.
