was the victim of two hackers from Medford, Massachusetts.
One of the hackers is now facing justice.
The two individuals wrecked a Wikipedia page on Joe's work.
As Viglione's writings number in the thousands, this blog is going to collect the materials in one area.

Joe Viglione founded one of the Boston-area's earliest independent record labels in 1976. In addition to issuing dozens of singles and albums by New England bands, Joe negotiated and released the critically-acclaimed debut 45 RPM from Velvet Underground drummer Maureen Tucker, the Lou Reed composition "I'm Sticking With You." A frequent music writer and historian, Viglione has contributed to the monthly Musician's magazine in the 1970s and 1980s, and he wrote extensively on a variety of subjects for the innovative AllMusic.com and AllMovie.com.
Viglione has often commented on the legacy of Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground. As music critic, Joe recognized the importance of Mitch Ryder's
pivotal Detroit lp, and the essential role it played in launching the legendary Rock n' Roll Animal tour. Separately, he has reviewed the recordings of Rock 'n' Roll Animal guitarists
Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter (along with essaying Hunter's bio) who
together went on to play in the Alice Cooper band.
On his one-hour television series Visual Radio (as
well as his terrestrial radio programs on), Joe has logged nearly 1,000 hours of
interviews, notably talking with Lou Reed, John Cale, Steve Hunter, Dick
Wagner, and many others. He directed the first documentary/concert
film on Marty Balin of The Jefferson Airplane, and he has produced
hundreds of audio recordings including some by bluesman Buddy Guy
accompanied by guitarist Nils Lofgren and vocalist Genya Ravan. Joe
Viglione is currently the producer of the forthcoming Bobby Hebb/Sunny box set, and he serves as president of the website SunnytheSong.com. More information on his work can be found
