i was there. at least part of this new yorker was. Matthew Sweet's band was not so memorable even the Sweet had words for audience members. someone screamed, "Play Scooby Doo", matthew fired back Fuck You. it was all downhill from there. seriously though, don't isolate a heckler and try to humiliate them. on the other hand, the Tender Idols were fab. a bit of american faux brit pop group. the front man was from England. Ian Webber. i still own Girlfriend (Deluxe Edition) as well as Distressor. Anyhow, sorry to burst your nostalgic bubble. the site itself, the Tradewinds was a cool venue. hot tubs in the winter. sadly, this new jersey institution in Sea Bright is shuddered.

Anyhow, let me know if u need more info or just some Sweet-inspired memories.

There were a lot of people heading to the exits early, and my daughter (first time seeing him live) said to me at one point, "The music for each song sounds good but once he starts singing, they all sound the same." The last time I saw Morrissey , while a showcas...
