Asbury Park

During my band’s second national tour, we played a date in Asbury Park, where we had the pleasure of bedding down at the Berkeley-Carteret for the night. I had vivid dreams while tucked into that enormous fin-de-seicle bed. Dreams of women in white lawn dresses strolling on the boardwalk, arm in arm with men in skimmer hats and seersucker suits. Asbury Park stayed with me; as Morrissey put it, “a seaside town they forgot to close down.”

Incidentally, for you fellow history geeks out there, Berkeley and Carteret were the two English aristocrats who, after a good deal of confusion and changing-of-hands, founded the colony of New Jersey.
