When we were in HS and College (we're the same age) we had the
original Saint - The Clover Club. 2fers, cheap beer and kamikaze
pitchers. They had a pool table.... I can sit here and recall the
ride from sea bright to Belmar and once in while- dumps in
Brick,Point or Seaside.
In those days Long Branch we had the Pier. Frat nights for free or $1.
I never heard of a cosmo....Heinekens were a treat as was stealing
cases of st pauli girls from my friends grandfathers garage in deal...
College was real easy. We "just made" the drinking age of 18.
How much do you think that "killed" the "scene". You drank and drove
but had brains, right? You got stopped - you pretty much would be
told to go home.
Not just the drinking age laws - but the promos as well - 2 fer 1,
free booze hours, ladies free, and a hell lot more bands that were
either free or what I thought was cheap. How much was booze? The
boathouse was the rescue and we had .75 lowenbrau mugs...
The MU kids now try to party at home with closed blinds so they don't
get raided....
It's not yesterday - it's today. Times are different and the laws
have changed. As have many peoples spending habits...
and at MU, according to my dad, they dropped about 250 kids from the
spring semester - above average drop rate. Could be tied to parents $.
Do the kids at MU really care about Springsteen? Or will they go
where their friends are or where THEY know or hop in a car and go to
AC or NYC... or hang in the basement of that rented house in ocean
with the kegs running?
