Friday, October 8, 2010: The Gaslight Anthem - American Slang

What is it about New Jersey?

From The Misfits of Lodi to Hoboken native Frank Sinatra, Newark's own Whitney Houston, Frankie Vallie and Queen Latifa, Perth Amboy born and Sayreville raised John Francis Bongiovi (you'd have changed your name too), Count Basie hailing from from Red Bank, and Ricky Nelson hailing from the township of Teaneck, New Jersey has produced as rich a heritage of American Music as almost any other city in the colonies.

And now, we can add another name to this illustrious list, New Brunswick's own The Gaslight Anthem.

Wait, did I forget someone on that list of musicians from New Jersey?

It'll come to me...........
