This week we have New Jersey punk show legend Joe Pulito on to talk about the Bouncing Souls masterpiece How I Spent My Summer Vacation. We talk about booking VFW’s as a teenager, infamous local shows, show flyer vibes, adolescent punk socialization, teenage bands as entrepreneurs, the rise and fall if Asbury Lanes, Joe forgets his anniversary, shore town gentrification, Chris Gethard as the patron saint of New Jersey, the pandemic and the music industry, a quick “New Jersey punk” google search, “Manthem” as social critique, bringing your kids to shows, the Trocadero Theater, and leaving “Blazer Punks” behind.
