[AsburyPark] Re: Another lost opportunity for AP - Bruce exhibit at RnR HOF
Your points in the second half of your post are valid, but I'm not sure I see a connection between those points and the city blowing anything in the context of the Hall of Fame exhibit. If you look at the Hall's Web site, there is no announcement. And the Associated Press article was noticeably short and devoid of detail. Rock Hall officials today couldn't disclose any specifics about what the exhibit will include, except to say it's a work in progress. So all anyone knows for sure is that there will be an exhibit, and it is tentatively titled ''From Asbury Park to the Promised Land: The Life and Music of Bruce Springsteen'' Since the arc of both his life and music began not in Asbury Park, but rather Freehold (and, to a lesser extent, Middletown and Sea Bright) it seems like based on the title alone the city has already come out ahead of the game - at least in terms of PR.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park looks to have its own new hit with Exit 102
Filming for the final full version will take place this spring in the Asbury Park Area. Excerpted from _http://tinyurl.com/794zoa_ (http://tinyurl.com/794zoa) Exit 102 is a gritty gem of a film that takes the viewer back to the golden years when loyalty and honor was the code and meant way more than carrying a glock and wearing your baggy pants down off your ass. It showcases a better time for many and is centered on the vibe of a close knit community on the brink of life changing turmoil. The premiere took place in November at the Paramount Theater and was an outstanding success. Peter and Ran told the packed house that they had received full funding (14 million dollars) and are ready to go full bore. Madison Marquette’s Meagan Olivera told me that attendance numbers were around 1,000. It was great to see that the whole town turned out to support and cheer so wildly as the screen lit up. To me it represented a triumphant sounding for a town that’s weathered everything and survived. I’d like to think of the representation of the film as Leonardo made its mark with Clerks, and now Asbury Park looks to have its own new hit with Exit 102.

Valid points, all of them, but the fact is that Bruce Springsteen and Asbury Park will be forever linked for so many reasons. I see people taking their photos all the time in front of the Stone Pony, and I tend to think that the only reason they do so is because of it's connection to Bruce. I've told this story before, but a few years ago I was working at the German MTV music video awards in Hannover Germany. I was wandering around the location, which was the Worlds Fair where it was being shot, and proudly wearing my Vaccarro Guitars shirt which features the name Asbury Park, NJ I can't tell you how many people stopped me to ask about the shirt, and 2 really nice women actually offered to buy the shirt right off my back. They kept asking if I knew Bruce and all sorts of related questions. And this happened to me many times.

Well, I don't wish to belabor the point, but while I think everyone can agree with what your saying here, I still don't see how the city blew anything vis a vis the Hall of Fame. When you used the adverb again after blew it, that sounded like there was an opportunity the city had regarding this particular exhibit, and that they lost that opportunity through inaction.

[AsburyPark] Re: Another lost opportunity for AP - Bruce exhibit at RnR HOF
Yes, I am saying exactly what you said in your second paragraph. To me, the fact is that a Bruce exhibit should've been a part of our redevelopment. Not only Bruce, but the many bands and musicians who've shaped our musical legacy, such as Arthur Pryor. There was a time when Asbury Park as a place to go for music was way on the map in our culture. It was even mentioned in The Honeymooners Once Bruce, Bon Jovi and Southside John came along, it only added more legend to the story. But, the city has all but forgotten about it. What's lost to me as that we didn't even take a stab at establishing anything related to our music heritage. I often mention Austin TX as a nice role model for AP. Music is Austins life, and with it they have a film industry. a world class music festival in South by South West, a whole district that's one club after another...and on and on. We could, and should have that. We have a dedicated core of new musicians here, but we only have a disjointed and tiny group of clubs for them to work in, and to attact big names to. We simply aren't connecting our musical music scene with our musical past. And it's not just about the S.O.A.P or current rock that comes from here. We're ignoring the west side, and that should be celebrated and encouraged too. AP could and should be like Memphis, Nashville and Austin all rolled into one. But instead, we have a few venues, acres of mostly empty parking, and a complete lack of a cohesive and walkable music scene that could sustain itself. I wish I had tons of money, because I'm sure the vision I share with so many others could be created in AP, and it would breath life into what we currently have. The Stone Pony won't do this by itself, nor will the other venues. But, if the whole oceanfront area and surrounding blocks were made into a wide variety of upscale, downscale and unique performance venues, coupled with a museum about our history, and some dining thrown inwe'd have something special, and successful. Entertainment is fairly recession proof... --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, sandpiper15 sandpipe...@... wrote: Well, I don't wish to belabor the point, but while I think everyone can agree with what your saying here, I still don't see how the city blew anything vis a vis the Hall of Fame.

[AsburyPark] Re: Another lost opportunity for AP - Bruce exhibit at RnR HOF
Yes, I am saying exactly what you said in your second paragraph. To me, the fact is that a Bruce exhibit should've been a part of our redevelopment. Not only Bruce, but the many bands and musicians who've shaped our musical legacy, such as Arthur Pryor. There was a time when Asbury Park as a place to go for music was way on the map in our culture. It was even mentioned in The Honeymooners Once Bruce, Bon Jovi and Southside John came along, it only added more legend to the story. But, the city has all but forgotten about it. What's lost to me as that we didn't even take a stab at establishing anything related to our music heritage. I often mention Austin TX as a nice role model for AP. Music is Austins life, and with it they have a film industry. a world class music festival in South by South West, a whole district that's one club after another...and on and on. We could, and should have that. We have a dedicated core of new musicians here, but we only have a disjointed and tiny group of clubs for them to work in, and to attact big names to. We simply aren't connecting our musical music scene with our musical past. And it's not just about the S.O.A.P or current rock that comes from here. We're ignoring the west side, and that should be celebrated and encouraged too. AP could and should be like Memphis, Nashville and Austin all rolled into one. But instead, we have a few venues, acres of mostly empty parking, and a complete lack of a cohesive and walkable music scene that could sustain itself. I wish I had tons of money, because I'm sure the vision I share with so many others could be created in AP, and it would breath life into what we currently have. The Stone Pony won't do this by itself, nor will the other venues. But, if the whole oceanfront area and surrounding blocks were made into a wide variety of upscale, downscale and unique performance venues, coupled with a museum about our history, and some dining thrown inwe'd have something special, and successful.
