Double date night at Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music for Tuesday Night Record Club featuring Meat Loaf
On the way down, we love doing selfies driving over the Driscoll Bridge
My good friend Lynn and I in front of the center
Double-date night at Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music, us, Lynn & Doug. Tuesday Night Record Club did Meat Loaf’s “Bat Out of Hell.”
The first I heard of Meat Loaf was on WNEW-FM during the Phil Rizzuto part of “Paradise by the Dashboard Light. I was only 13 or 14 and couldn’t wait to hear who it was. Meat Loaf. I thought that was the name of the band and went out and got the album. Shortly afterwards, Meat Loaf was at Willowbrook Mall signing autographs.
I got to meet the legendary Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman. I was disappointed that Ellen Foley wasn’t there. I still have Meat Loaf’s autograph in a box somewhere. My uncle laminated it for me.
(There’s a lot more to the story, but maybe another time).
Meat Loaf temporarily pushed Queen out of first place in my record collection. They were my first concert and I had an 11 o’clock curfew at 13 or 14. This was at Montclair State College before they became a University. Seeing all the cool older kids, I felt too young and awkward and couldn’t wait to be older and buy cooler clothes and look more like a teenager instead of a kid. A fabulous cover band called Stars (not to be confused with Starz) was the warm-up band. They came out doing “Magical Mystery Tour.”
THEN Meat Loaf! I only got to see half of the show in order to get home for curfew. I walked out of the show backwards to soak up every last bit. It was exactly how you see in the videos — Meat Loaf with his long flowing hair, and sweat pouring down his face. Gorgeous Karla DeVito in that legendary white jumpsuit. Front and center, they stood out more than any of the band members. (Three years later at 17, I’d miss my midnight curfew when I saw The Stranglers at Aldo’s getting home at 3 a.m. and getting in big trouble). To this day, I regret not blowing curfew for Meat Loaf.
Anyway, the presentation was put on by Ken Womack, and his guest for the evening was Ray Andersen who was in Meat Loaf’s touring band.It was so awesome listening to tracks from that album. I forgot how epic “For Crying Out Loud” was. Another standout for me, which they didn’t play last night was “Heaven Can Wait.”
I forgot how beautiful Meat Loaf’s voice was.
And I forgot that “You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth” was a video on MTV.
I do remember the Meat Loaf bio pic that was shown on VH1. I have to look that up and watch it again.
Meat Loaf was also known for being in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

#HeavyRain, #FlashFlooding in #NewJersey sparks numerous water rescues near #JerseyShore
Jul. 06, 2026
Excerpt: "The National Weather Service received reports of multiple water rescues occurring throughout coastal sections of Monmouth County, including Asbury Park, Deal, Long Branch, Monmouth Beach, Neptune City, Neptune Township, Ocean Township, Wall Township, and West Long Branch.
"A portion of the roof has collapsed at #BJsWholesaleClub in Ocean Township, the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office said. Officials are asking people to avoid the area.
"Belmar police said Route 35 is closed between 16th Avenue and Route 71 and asked motorists to avoid all travel in the borough.
"In Neptune City, 25 people were rescued from flood waters as the storm brought record rainfall rates of nearly 5 inches per hour, according to statement from the borough.
" 'At the height of the storm, dozens of people were trapped in vehicles on flooded roadways and parking lots, and dozens of residences were impacted by flooding, including multiple apartments on Steiner Avenue,' borough officials said. 'Emergency responders continue to check on residents in affected areas, and our construction department is working to assess properties to determine when it is safe for residents to return home.'
"The number of isolated power outages in the borough has increased as a result of this storm and multiple residents and businesses were sheltering in place, and temporary sheltering has also was provided, authorities said."

Beachy keen by day, carousel by night, and the Judy Blume rest stop!
Posing with my turtle sand sculpture! He’s awkward, but cute!
Hello little guy!
Judy Blume rest stop
The rest stops on the Garden State Parkway are named after prominent people who lived in New Jersey. Yesterday was the first time we visited the Judy Blume one. Earlier this year I was on a Judy Blume kick, re-reading her books I loved as a kid. I was ecstatic to be here. Back in March I covered a book talk by Mark Oppenheimer at Word Bookstore in Maplewood. He penned a bio on Judy Blume called “A Life.” You can read more here: https://essexnewsdaily.com/arts/author-of-judy-blume-book-gives-talk-at-bookstore-in-maplewood/
Judy Blume was known for her realism in writing for young adults. And as a young adult in the 1970s, and as much as I loved her books, I must say I also loved horror books like “Carrie” and science fiction like “Planet of the Apes” (the book takes place in France, unlike the USA as the movie does) and “Planet of the Blind” and many comic books.
Blume’s books were controversial at the time, talking to kids about hard-ons and menstruation. But these were the things we wanted to hear. Some things just couldn’t be discussed with parents. My mom told me about menstruation two years before I got my period. Like “Margaret” in Blume’s book, “Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret?” I couldn’t wait! It meant I was growing up.
As for hard-ons, I remember asking my mom, “What does it mean when a guy’s dick goes up?”
Her answer, “That’s called a hard on. Stay away from him and don’t let him touch your titties.”
See what I mean? Ask a grown up a simple question and that’s the answer you get. Judy Blume gave kids answers via her fictional stories.
Judy Blume = a Jersey girl!
A beautiful restored carousel, in the Carousel Museum in Seaside Heights
This is something to be seen! Even the tickets were everything. I’d say this carousel is the heart and soul of Seaside Heights.
I found this fascinating blog about it: https://visitingamuseum.com/2024/07/23/seaside-heights-historical-society-1400-boardwalk-seaside-heights-nj-08751/
62 and a half, and still a kid!
My husband horsing around!
And now for a self-care week ahead — therapy, acupuncture, a much needed haircut, and regular dental cleaning so I can keep smiling.

Wildwood’s French Connection: How Canadian Vacationers Kept the Jersey Shore Buzzing in the ‘70s
Picture this: a warm summer night in North Wildwood in the 1970s. The salty breeze drifts down Surf Avenue as the soft, romantic melody of “La Seine” floats from the open doors of Club Québec. At first blush, it might sound like a Parisian cabaret, but it’s actually a lively nightclub packed with French Canadians singing along with Montreal's own Michel Louvain. He’s the headliner—but the whole crowd joins in like it’s a hometown concert. This magical scene played out night […] -
