Hey Todd special thanks for asking Chris about that Capitol Theatre show and the steamer story. I remember waiting a long time for the Ramones to come out. I think every musically adventurous NJ kid I knew went to that one. A fond memory.

@patrick321: I was trying to remember if that show was well attended...I think it actually might have been. I wrote about it in Young, Fast and Scientific #1!

Hey, does anyone else know what the deal is with that beeping sound at the beginning of the first verse of "Holidays in the Sun"? Just looked online and there's nothing there. Been bothering me since the 80s.

Glad you spoke out on the BR situation, Todd. I think you’re making a smart, diplomatic decision regarding continuing to support the Burger acts not involved in the alleged incidents by playing their records.
