Jeff Rosenstock - Frenetic, passionate, and a really fun time

Jeff Rosenstock put on a high energy show the other night at White Eagle Hall. His opening bands, Gladie and Sidney Gish provided solid opening sets. Gladia, a full band got the crowd jumping and Sidney Gish mesmerized the audience with their solo guitar work. But the night belonged to Jeff Rosenstock and his crack band. It is my sincere belief that Rosenstock has fully tapped into the minds and souls of the late 20’s crowd. They grew up with Rosenstock’s music and he seems like he has captured the essence of growing up post 9/11 and trying to find their own voices and paths in the world. Beyond that - Rosenstock is just plain fun to watch.

Born from an existential argument between Modernists and Postmodernists, I have found my home with the post-punks and those who love a good slice of pizza. I live in a world of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction and the ever-elusive Decisive Moment. Punctum and Studium aside, I like to take photographs of people and things to see how they look photographed. While I miss both CBGBs and a cool place to bowl in Asbury Park, Punk is still whatever we made it to be. The Future is Unwritten, and I owe it all to Mr. Bradley and Mr. Martin. Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (and Women) and ask the Little Prince for his thoughts. Sometimes, I'm On the Road, but if it weren’t for the honor of the thing, I’d just as well walk. My loving wife supports this albatross of an obsession, and my kids put up with me well. BA, MFA, M.Ed., BCEA, Nikon, FUJI, Tri-X.
