Southside Johnny - Interview Part 1 - 11/4/1984 - Rock Influence (Official)

[@marypagliaro1345]

Love his reflection of his parents influence of Jazz and of New Jersey's bad rap but a great opportunity to play with his form of music:)

Great interview great guy. I love his version of“Walk away Renae”

[@8ackbiter434]

Good interview. He's a very bright bloke who speaks very well. I've seen the Jukes about 10 times and his rapport and banter with the crowd is always exceptional. One of the greats, in my view.

playing for hard working BLUE collar people ......THE JUKES ANTHEM! STILL IS thanx JOHNNY

[@northguilford]

Always liked Southside. The first time I saw Bruce was when he showed up at a Jukes concert.

If you live in northern NJ today in 2019 you live in splendor... beautiful homes and usually an acre of land with streams parks concert halls Main Street and mall shopping golf courses beaches great pizza great restaurants great schools..in the early 80s it was just developing into the affluent suburbia of today ... just for the record ...so knock NJ all you want... we know how good we have it now

[@dannilaser16]

Sure, high taxes too.

Cool Johnny .. just getting into his stuff now at 27, having been a big piano rock fan who plays and sings - bass and guitar as well as piano... getting tired of billy joel and elton john is good but not very uplifting as he's a rather sad individual inside. But SS Johnny has got something I like.. and even though from Connecticut myself I love NJ, been to Eatontown and that surrounding area for a few months not too long ago :) So hello to all NJ fans of this great musician.

Chris Crepon grew up in Mon county, exit 114 parkway, CK out the history along the coast of Mon county, navesink river road (red bank) was one of my favorite roads.. been in TN 24 yrs... not as pretty as NJ, music all banjo.. ssj has soul.

I was born in Passaic NJ in 1960. I always liked Johnny more than “The Boss” Johnny is more “Jersey” than Bruce IMHO. Johnny’s a better singer. He has soul. Bruce was all about the tough guy. My image of the Springsteen fan is a macho Italian guy who drives a Firebird or Camaro. Johnny is much more down to earth. He’s also a hell of a lot smarter than Bruce. Hell, he knows who John McPhee was!

[@51canuto]

I agree!

[@RealJasonFutch]

1:56 Ahhh the Pine Barrens....I hear there is an interior decorator running around out there. They say he killed 30 Czechoslovakians! He may have a flesh wound near his head. Hope some of y’all get that!

Robin Gibbons was beautiful. Her legs were magnificent. I remember her on Entertainment Tonight. Stunning woman

[@mtm105]

[@chriscrepon1283]

[@lt9316]

[@TheFpCassini]

[@MultiPetercool]

As a kid who was born in Passaic in 1960, my response to that question is: Fuck You! 😆🙄
