Best Rock Scream
Me and Suze were buzzing 2 The Doors The Doors last night. I hadnt listened 2 The End in a long time, and it got 2 that part where Jim Morrison is killing his father and making the beast with 2 backs with his mom (major BK) and then he unleashes that awesome scream. Me and Suze screamed at the same time and then started laughing our butts off. We kept replaying it and screaming 4 about an hour. Of course then we got 2 talking about rock screams and trying to figure out which was the best 1 ever. Its hard 2 top Jimmy M (rest in piece Rock Legend), but we decided Janis Joplin Piece of My Heart has a better scream. I can picture Jimmy and Janis up there in Rock heaven screaming at each other while John Denver sticks his fingers in his ears. But somehow we agreed for the first time ever on a music question and decided The Who Wont Get Fooled Again was the best.
Which scream do you think is best? Say something in the comments below. Thats all I got 4 now. Later.

Thats all I got 4 now. Later.

Riding the Star of Neptune
Blogsters and blogettes. Last night was unreal. U probably watched it on TV. Some of you might have even been there. Suze and me went 2 the reopening of Ocean Park Amusement Pier. It was like the story Brigantine where that town keeps coming back every 100 years. Sea Views been dead 4ever but came back 2 life last night.
We were all lined up along the new boardwalk waiting and wondering y nothing was happening. The lights from the news crews were shining back on us but the park up ahead was still pitch black.
A spotlight came from nowhere and lit up Mayor Mayfield in a sky ride car. As the spotlight widened we could c that he was next 2 a woman in a tie-dye dress. It was Reg. They were arm in arm and waving down 2 the crowd.
I never saw Reg in a dress. And boy was she pregnant. About 8 months.
May Mays voice boomed thru a loudspeaker down on2 the eager crowd. It sounded like God. He welcomed everyone watching live across America 2 the town of Sea View and then announced the re-opening of Ocean Park.
“But be4 we open the park,” he said, “theres just one more thing I have 2 do.”
He got down on one knee and asked Reg 2 marry him. She said yes and they kissed 2 thunderous applause.
A sudden zinging sound came from the thick black wires winding around the park. The crowd moved back, but then we all got up on our toes 2 c over each other. The ginormous “Welcome 2 Ocean Park Amusement Pier” sign on the front gate burst into light.
Then, one by one, each of the rides lit up and began 2 move.
The Breath Taker roller coaster.
Destinys Dream merry-go-round.
The Black Widow tilt-o-whirl.
The Praying Mantis rock climbing wall.
The bumper cars, the pirate ship, the train ride, the toboggan, and all the others came on next. Then the lights burst on at all of the concession stands and game booths.
The crowd chanted “May May, May May, May May.”
The spot light swung thru the sky and landed on the dark frame of the Star of Neptune. A trumpet blast came from somewhere. Then the Ferris wheel lit up with color.
Ocean Park was completely alive.
Reg announced that two lucky visitors had been selected 2 b the first 2 ride the all-new Star of Neptune. A man in a black top hat and tuxedo walked up 2 me and Suze and handed us each a monster cotton candy. Then he bowed and stuck his elbows out wide.
We locked arms as tux guy guided us in2 the park like an usher at a wedding. Every1 else waited outside.
Reg smiled at us. Me and Suze lifted our cotton candy in her direction as a thank you. Then the sky ride started and Reg and May May zoomed out in2 the darkness.
Tux guy led us thru the partially open gates and up 2 the Ferris wheel, opened the door 2 the ride, and bowed again. The Ferris wheel gave a little whine and then lifted us off the boardwalk just as the Springsteen song Jersey Girl crackled thru the loudspeakers.
As soon as we were off the ground, the gates below swung open and everyone ran 2 their favorite rides.
Riding the Star of Neptune was unreal. From the top of the ride u could c for miles across all of the Sea View wannabe towns lining the shore.
We sat there at the center of the universe, on the top of the world, and lit up some fresh Jersey-Grown.
Now Im not religious or anything, and maybe it was a little of the Jersey-Grown talking, but I have a feeling that if theres a heaven, it looks a lot like Ocean Park did rite at that moment 2 anyone like me who grew up in Sea View.
It was hard 2 imagine anything better.
That’s all I got 4 now. Later.

E Street Lego Band
Me and Suze found this video on line last night. Somebody with more free time on their hands made this Springsteen and the East Street Band video with Legos. We were way into our fresh Jersey-Grown buzz when we spotted it so we hit replay more than 100 times. After a while it started to look like them especially Max. Check it out and see what I mean.

May Mays Secret
Blogsters and blogettes. U r definitely going to call BS when I tell you this. I nearly fell over when I heard it and I was only a couple of puffs in2 my day.
U know that story about our Mayor Mayfield thats been on the news all day? The one about him having an affair with a young woman at that apartment across from the marina? Well thats not just any woman. Thats our friend Reg. Yes, the ex-alias Fiesta Gal.
May May is the married guy Regs been hiding out with. No wonder she didnt tell anyone. Shes been sleeping with Sea View Royalty, and married royalty at that.
May May looks like hes 80 or something. No they said hes 58 on the news. But thats about 4 times as old as Reg whose 22. Hes been married to Samantha 4 almost 40 years. Was married that is. His wife split last week be4 the news broke.
May Mays spokesperson said the marriage is over and Reg is pregnant and the mayor plans 2 marry her. Wo.
The Mayfields oldest grandson was a Freshman when Reg graduated from Sea View High. At least thats what the reporters r saying. So Reg will b about the same age as her grandkids. Yikes.
Me and Suze were totally blown away by the news. We havent been able 2 find Reg since it broke. We think shes with May May hiding from the press somewhere.
We were flipping thru the channels looking 4 the interviews we did 4 the news today. Suze wore a bikini top that highlighted her silicone assets 4 the CNN interview. Were hoping the reality show scouts c that one. But instead of Suze, CNN was showing that Sufjan Stevens video 4 the serial killer song “John Wayne Gacy, Jr.”
Hmmm. I dont know whats more creepy – a song about a serial killer or marrying a guy with grandkids your age.
In honor of our best friend and her upcoming nuptials and childbirth, Suze and me smoked our dose of medicinal herb and made a list of the creepiest songs ever. We disqualified Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie, and Alice Cooper or else we wouldve been at it all day. Im guessing that “Living Dead Girl” would have been the winner out of those three. We eventually disqualified Metallica and Twisted Sister 4 the same reason, or else “Enter Sandman” and “Captain Howdy” might have had a chance.
We didnt disqualify Pink Floyd only cuz theyre the greatest non-Jersey band ever, but our votes were split between “One of My Turns” and “Brain Damage.” We also couldnt agree on a Warren Zevon song, since I liked “Werewolves of London” but Suze wanted “Excitable Boy,” more 4 its grave digging than 4 its biting and raping and killing.
In the end we decided that a fa-la-la sing-along tune with creepy lyrics would have 2 take the prize. With that in mind, we considered songs like “Jessies Girl” by Rick Springfield, “867-5309/Jenny” by Tommy Tutone, “Every Breath U Take” by The Police, and “Sunglasses at Night” by Corey Hart.
Those r all pretty creepy, but the three winners that we dedicate to May May and Reg r:
Hey just kidding Reg. Come home soon. We miss you.
Thats all I got 4 now. Later.

“And in my best behavior
I am really just like him.
Look beneath the floor boards
For the secrets I have hid.”
Sounds like someones offering Stevens a bundle to remake the song with Satin Strangler lyrics 4 a DestinyIsInnocent fundraiser.I am really just like him.
Look beneath the floor boards
For the secrets I have hid.”

Best Song Lyrics Ever
Me and Suze were over at Regs place listening 2 tunes and we started talking about the best song lyrics ever. Suze voted 4 Pink Floyds Wish U Were Here:
Did u exchange
A walk on part in a war
4 a lead role in a cage?
Then after a few more puffs she started babbling about the Floyd Tune called Empty Spaces from The Wall. We love the Floyd, but theres only 4 lines of lyrics in the hole song. That was the Jersey-Grown talking.
What shall we use
2 fill the empty spaces
Where we used 2 talk?
How shall I fill the final places?
How should I complete the wall?
Me and Reg went with everything Springsteen ever wrote. Suze made us narrow down the list though. I voted 4 Backstreets:
Remember all the movies, Terry
Wed go see
Trying 2 learn 2 walk like the heroes
We thought we had 2 b
Well after all this time
2 find were just like all the rest
Stranded in the park
And forced 2 confess
2 hiding on the backstreets
No surprise Reg went with Thunderroad:
Waste your summer praying in vain
4 a savior 2 rise from these streets
Well, Im no hero, thats understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood
Hard not 2 love those lines from The Boss.
What do u think? Vote 4 yure favorite lyrics in the comments below. Thats all I got 4 now. Later.

Every Rose Has Its Thorn
I got tons of emails after posting about the best hair band rock ballad ever. It got me and Suze surfing the net as they say 2 find some good footage. This concert has Poison singing Every Rose Has Its Thorn. We had a few puffs of Jersey-Grown be4 watching it but it looks like a concert we saw back in the day. If you look carefully at the 2:30 time point you can probably make out Suze in the back. I think I may have been passed out by that point but maybe Im just behind someone in the shot. Here it is. Enjoy it. Thats all I got 4 now. Later.
