Music Thread: Jersey Shore Sound (The Way It Should Be...Not The Springsteen Style)

Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes is a bar band. They know it. Their fans know it, and their success over more than 40 years is a testament to the power of simple rock and roll, well played and well performed.

Shockingly, when one checks the fetid swamp of the internet for Southside Johnny's (John Lyon's) politics, nothing comes up! Oh, I'm sure he is a reliable leftist, but he and his band don't shove their politics in my face, so I will continue to listen! Hell...I might even go see them, even though that apparently entails being around other people.

I'll even forgive him for Miami Steve van Zandt and Bruce Springsteen. After all, nobody's perfect.

Please keep politics and other assorted dreck out of the thread. Yeah...we are all all hyper-political, but for a couple of hours we can stay away from and just chat about fun stuff. It doesn't have to be music, it can be fish puns (although your fish puns give me a haddock) or complaining about your aunt who always arrives empty-handed for dinner.
