Hoboken’s Acting Mayor Looks Like A Prog Rock Fan

Rush To Judgement

hoboken geddy leeMetal Insider is situated in Weehawken, NJ, at the epicenter of the corruption charges that made news last week. Hoboken is the next town over, and their Mayor was one of 44 officials arrested after accepting a bribe at a diner where we sometimes get lunch from. He stepped down earlier today, and his replacement, City Council President Dawn Zimmer, was sworn in as acting Mayor.

What’s this have to do with metal? Not much, until we got a look at Zimmer. We hope she does a great job running the city, but couldn’t help but notice that she looks a lot like a male Prog fan. Seriously, I think I saw her at the Rush concert. Onstage. Playing bass.
