In case you haven’t heard, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ newest U.S. Senator/Rock Star is Scott Brown, the now-former state senator from Wrentham. The senator-elect put on his final public appearance before heading down to Washington at Christina’s events hall in Foxboro, getting welcomed by his supporters with a rock star welcome.
