Thanksgiving is also the anniversary of making Asbury Park mine … falling in love with the Jersey Shore, not just at the Jersey Shore.

From Sea Bright down to Seaside I rule.

The electric eccentric, hey that’s me / I’m the Outsider.

Been waiting so long / Through plots and plans that went wrong / What didn’t kill me made me strong / I’m still here.

I sang the pain and anguish of the city / I sang melodies of hope and despair / I sang all at once of the ugliness and beauty ...

“AHahaha!”

There has always been a place I long for—anywhere away from where I was at the time.

Wow ... it has been 20 years since Soul In Exile 2: Jersey Shore Baby got its first review, before it was even finished. Kudos to Gary...

There’s nothing new around in this dead man’s town / Nothing to do in a dead man’s world

This town’s coming back, I’m seeing it firsthand / If you’re not seeing it you’ve got your head in the sand.

Yes, the David Bowie song.

This is my town and I’ll walk outside here, no matter what’s coming down from the sky.

Dani, the sun has gone down in our faces / The lights faded out and there’s no real sign of the morning

This city’s never gonna come back / As long as the negativity rules ...

This is no dream / All you have to do is will it / This is no dream / It is up to you to fulfill it.

I’m going out tonight / In search of something I can’t place / It’s out there but out of sight / An entity without a face

The prophets have fallen between the boardwalk cracks / Their voices still ooze out but no one wants to hear ...

Baby I know things are gonna get better for us / I know things can’t stay this way forever for us

It’s gonna live, breathe, and jump again.

Is this conflagration / The sorry culmination / Of a romance everybody said / Showed a sea of promise?
