I grew up in Rockland county. Back then our drinking age was 18 and N.J. was 21 so N.J. was not the place to be....😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the places I hit...it's Rt. 303....Cookoo's Nest? was a popular bar there. Most places just wanted to see some ID back then...they didn't really look too hard. We would go to DMV and get an extra licenses which were paper and had no pictures and get someone to forge the DOB.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's extremely hard to pick "favorites"...so I've settled in on which bands influenced me (whether good or bad). My first major influence was....The Doors. Their music wasn't for everybody...but I connected. Most of my friends thought Morrison was weird. And that was probably Gospel....but I just loved the driving melodies...especially Manzarek's keyboard interjections. I still listen to The Doors today. The jury is still out on whether they were a good or a bad influence on me...(Smile). There were a lot of Southern rockers...and most of them were outstanding musicians....especially Skynard. I suppose I gravitated towards the Allman Brothers. Especially the original group which included Dwayne and Berry Oakley. Loved to hear Dwayne and Dickie battle it out. There's you two fine guitarists. Don't get me wrong...I still liked them after Dwayne and Berry died (motorcycle accidents)...baby brother Gregg could wail. And they still had Dickie Betts on guitar. Just an all-around talented and inspiring Georgia rock band. They're high on my list. Finally....and this is hard cause I had the fortune of listening and watching SO MANY great bands....I cannot in good faith leave out... Crosby, Stills & Nash Their music could and still can...reach your soul. Those guys were meant to play together...even though...I don't think Graham Nash and David Crosby...love each other these days....LOL. Stephen Stills is the most underrated performer I can name. His songs are performed to this day. Oh, and to be completely...I said COMPLETELY...clear.....Screw Neil Young. I decided to cut this thing short. There's been so many bands and performers. Those are the ones that lead me astray...(Smile). Rufus>> Lynyrd SkynRd has to be up on the list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joke, the kids there were sheltered pinheads. I recall very clearly Bosco had a rock concert. They were not sure who to hire so they asked the student body. The choice given, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap or Jimi Hendrix! No joke. The students picked Puckett! (we wound up with 3 Dog Night, pop crap) I thought I was stuck on some strange planet bussing up to Bosco each day. We had The Capital Theater in Passaic and we had a 10 minute ride to Manhattan. The Bergen boys were not allowed in Manhattan at night. LOL Heck we had to cross into NY to get served. Steak and Brew, the Hob Nob and a great nude strip club on 59. (21-18 thing) Yes, tons of good stuff going on but it was not in Bergen. PC was was cool. You get get stoned with the teachers there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong.We would cut out of school & head to Yankee Stadium for afternoon games get smashed & get a $10.00 blow job before leaving for home.One time my girlfriend spotted lipstick on my johnson & didn't touch me for weeks. Order a hamburger at Steak & Brew & you got beer or Sangria all you could drink free but usually got tossed after 2 hours.My Geometry teacher bounced at Hob Nob so that was out so we hit Puruna's(spelling)or the strip joint on 59 in Nyack.9W Club in NJ was the best strip joint until it turned juice only.
