OT: Taylor Swift in NJ
- Thread starter redlinehw
- Start date
It's Celebrity worship syndrome. Would have thought it wouldn't apply in NJ with all that sophistication and things to do.
Swifties travel the country to see her perform. They're the modern day Dead Heads. I'm surprised once word got out there weren't thousands, not hundreds.
It was a great place. Floors would sway under the weight of the crowds.
I thought this was another Taylor Ham v Pork Roll thread.
Swift sells bacon so I don’t get where they fit in.

Worked the door there for a couple of summers. Oh, the stories.................
Was in Jimmy Byrne's Sea Girt Inn a bunch of times for fire calls as it laid vacant. The second floor had various rooms with different guys names in the door. Not sure what that was about.
It was open till 3am. Between 1 and 2 there'd be a line of cars waiting to get in the lot for an extra hour or so of partying.
Right before the “Born in the USA” album (and subsequent tour) came out my Brother ended up having the same workout schedule as Bruce at the old HEAR Institute in Red Bank. Big heavy hitter place in the early 80s for Wall Street guys we all know by name. Parking Lot was amazing…Rolls, Lambos, some brands I didn’t even know.
My Brother said he was just a regular guy trying to get in shape like the rest of us. Would spot each other all the time. And do the gym encouragement thing...”one more, all you!” too when lifting the heavy stuff.

I've seen Bruce down by the inlet more than once. Would never to occur to me to bother him.
Ran into him at a store Christmas Eve in Red Bank a while ago and asked him to sign the tag on a stuffed animal as a gift to my sister. He was very nice and only expressed regret that we didn’t have a better pen.
Should be a pitch to future football stars - this is now you would be treated in NJ
I had no idea who this tweeter is, and had to look him up, but he seems convinced it's a big deal:
Very funny comedian. He had to buy his last special back from Netflix and release it himself on YouTube because of some of the material. Worth a watch if you’re into such a thing.
Thanks for that. Man, right out of the gate, he's killing it. WTF is wrong with Netflix and other media outlets? Did we forget how to laugh at ourselves like we did in Blazing Saddles, old George Carlin, Sanford and Son, All in the Family. . . .
What a coveted job, right up there with doorman at The Bluffs in Bayhead or the Parker House.
I knew a few flash-lighters who worked the parking lot.
FYI
My brothers son Little Larry has been a bartender downstairs at the Parker House for a decade.
He makes more money in the 3 months tending bar 2 days a week than he does as a full time history teacher.

My brother-in-law was a bouncer at the Royal Manor North in the early 80s. If someone really awesome showed up to sit in on a show he would call his sister and she and I would head over. One night it was Springsteen on stage with John Eddie.
Nope. The furthest south we Sayreville boys would go was the Fountain Casino or the Fast Lane in AP.
I guy I worked with is friends with your nephew and told me the same thing.
We caught up at a 9/11 related wake for a mutual friend we worked with.

South in Wall. Remember the headlines in the Asbury Park Press. Was a Siperteins for a long time after the nightclub. Now a bike shop and pizza place.
The Royal Manor down here.
I worked with a guy who was working the night the bouncers killed the guy. No, he wasn't involved.
I think I’ve told the story before, maybe to both of you, but the sister of the guy killed and her husband bought the house behind my parents in Middletown before they moved to Sea Girt.
My Mom figured out who she was after a “welcome to the neighborhood” cocktail party and some of her own detective work.
Sad story. Nice street her and her late brother grew up on in Middletown.
The Royal Manor was a great club but it was well-known that the bouncers were trouble. A tragedy just waiting to happen.
When a hypothetical matchup included Taylor Swift as the third-party on the ballot, 42% support Trump, 39% Biden, and 8% Swift. Ten percent are undecided. Swift is viewed favorably by 43% of voters, while 38% are neutral, and 19% have an unfavorable view of her.

Some riveting video right here. Life was so much better without mobile phones.
Tour is over in US, so now the fever will move to theaters.
I watched a couple of full gigs on Yotube and they are well done if over-hyped.
Not full but quality is ok
