I put that headline in quotes because it’s a phrase from “Sympathy for the Devil,” by The Rolling Stones, my second-favorite band of all time, and because the point of this column is to tell you, dear readers, a little more about me as I take the helm of The News from Bill Speer.
I’ve met many of you since I and my wife, News Lifestyles editor Darby Hinkley, moved here in July 2018 with our son, Mason.
But, as managing editor, my work hours kept me holed up in the newsroom long into the night, which meant most of my mornings were spent in bed, and I had fewer chances than I’d have liked to get out into the community.
