October 2004 Fan of the Month: M-Dawg

Hey, Hey!!
Well its quite interesting how I became a *Southside* fan, but here it goes. I'm fifteen years old, and am waaay into fashion, unfortunately, I don't have a job, so I can't afford real expensive clothing. But retro and vintage is really in right now, and so I've become addicted to garage sales. This one shirt caught my eye it was BRIGHT blue, and it read "Southside Johnny LIVE" I turned it over and this box shaped like a ticket stub, which said, "SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY AND THE ASBURY JUKES, REACH UP AND TOUCH THE SKY, 1981 TOUR." I was totally stoked to find such a rad shirt, even though I had never even heard of this band before! So the next day, wore the shirt to school, got TONS of compliments on it, and my English teacher asked me what my shirt said, so I told him, also told him I had no idea who they are, (and everyone who noticed the shirt hadn't heard of 'em either). So he rolled his eyes, like "Why the heck wear a shirt with a band on it and you don't know who the band is?" But I was sort of curious, and decided once I got home, to research the band. I googled "Southside Johnny" and found TONS of links! Clicked a few, and was like whooa this rox!! I went to a used record store to listen to some of these songs, cause I was just amazed by how many records they have produced! I fell in love, I love this band and have made a fair amount of my friends fans as well!! I just have to say that SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY....TOTALLY ROCKS!!!!!!!! I'm a fan of old music...loving the Beach Boys and Beatles, and now am in LOVE w/ Southside!!

Sincerely,
M-dawg a.k.a. Mary!!
