Update: I added a link at the bottom of the page to download the entire show as mp3 audio. And the faithful gathered that night, on the mount of the about to be christened mega-church—The Prudential Center. This was a night of firsts. Bruce Springsteen never played the Prudential Center before. But it was a mighty [...]

What A Difference A Week Makes!

Joe Streno — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 15:52:54 +0000

It’s true! What a difference a week makes … or two. In my last post I talked about being diagnosed with Type II Diabetes again. Since then I was forced to start watching more closely how much food was traveling through my pie hole. It was a wakeup call, to say the least. And to [...]

Medicine Show: Watching Weight Wane

Joe Streno — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 17:41:51 +0000

Today is the first day of the rest of my … oh fuck that noise! With the smell of hamburgers wafting into my bedroom window from Frank’s Deli’s grill exhaust, I contemplate the task at hand. Sadly it’s not a cheeseburger deluxe. Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes, again! It was [...]

Joe Streno — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:35:34 +0000

This show was a double bill. John Eddie And The Front Street Runners opening for Mink DeVille at the Fast Lane in Asbury Park … some summer night in 1981. The exact date escapes my aging brain cells. Don’t remember if anyone went with me to see this show. But for those who might [...]

For The People. By The People. A Clash Photo Book By Joe Streno

“For The People. By The People.” I came to the Clash as a fan. I heard the British import of their first self titled album when it first came out … and I was hooked! When I went to the Palladium to see them for the first time in 1980, I went as a fan, [...]

Be It Ever So … Awesome!

Joe Streno — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 02:35:40 +0000

It seemed like an eternity. A multitude of events started, seemingly, so long ago. An accident. The slow recovery. A ten year relationship gone missing. Never to return. Waiting for a payoff, literally, that never reaching the zenith of its promise. Trips back east, that seemed more a tease, with only short term pleasures. It [...]

On The Move: Asbury Park, NJ

Joe Streno — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 04:33:06 +0000

It’s been a whirlwind few weeks. I knew I needed to move. I knew I needed a new place to live. A new home to replace the one I owned and had to short sell. Not only was a long term relationship ending, so was the security they both afforded. After a year on the [...]

joMusic: Constance

Joe Streno — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 05:51:50 +0000

When I start a piece of new original music, sometimes the chords and melody come first. Sometimes the hook comes first. With this song, I’m not sure how it developed.This new music is not so new. I wrote it years ago in 2002. I have a feeling the chords and the picking pattern on the [...]
