Please check out this in-depth interview with yours truly as well as with Geoff Rickly of Thursday on Ronen Kauffman's podcast, Issue Oriented. I talk my fool head off about the good old days, how I started Jersey Beat, what Hoboken was like in 1980 (and why), gentrification, and the changing of the guard in the punk scene. Geoff speaks eloquently and openly about Thursday's past, present, and future. This is one of the best podcasts out there, please check it out and subscribe.
