If you’re looking for some comic relief from the pandemic we’re all living through, how about taking a few minutes to listen to a new song by the Rock Bottom Remainders.

This band, formed in 1992, includes — but isn’t limited to — authors Dave Barry, Amy Tan, Stephen King, Scott Turow and Sun Valley resident Ridley Pearson. Pearson joins Idaho Matters to talk more about their music. 

As COVID-19 cases spread through the U.S. and Idaho, we’re committed to keeping you updated and informed. You can get updated info on cases, closures and how to stay healthy at any time on our Coronavirus news blog.
