i think benny could. i too am upset with the jersey shore cause not only have they ruined jersey, but once people find out they're from new york, then i feel like theyre giving us a bad name to. to be honest as well, ive never watched the show. i just know theyre such big douchebags where i dont have to watch it to know what theyre like.

Yeah I've never watched it either, but you can tell what kind of people they are

Never been to Jersey, still want to. I will not watch that show, because when I picture Jersey, I always picture rainy day streets and lounge cafe diners, and cities outskirted with light forests, and the roots of true american music. Not some douchebags with tight shirts and tattoos. That's obviously what Jersey is NOT... not saying that my vision is any more accurate, but you get the point.

the thing about that show is that seaside heights (where the show takes place) is garbage. there is a reason why people don't go there...the show sure has attracted a weird bunch, even to my beach. i live a couple miles away from seaside. any upcoming visitors: just avoid seaside please! you will find 0 redeeming qualities about it. unless you like dj tiesto/armin van buuren. but then again, that isn't why you guys signed up for the gaslight anthem forum

brilliant article! nice to hear alex's point of view for a change. cheers!

hard to tell with him sometimes though when it's tongue in cheek, when he's winding up the interviewer, and when he's calling a spade a spade
