There’s a finally a reason to not hate New Jersey quite as much as you used to
I have a long and documented hate-hate relationship with the state of New Jersey. Readers of my old blog know that I find the state repugnant, and once petitioned to have it cut in half and divided between New York and Pennsylvania. Not that Pennsylvania would really want the damn state, but really - it could only get better under the care of individuals less prone to building factories everywhere in sight.
The only thing that slightly qualifies New Jersey as a livable state is its shoreline, but even that includes dumps like Atlantic City and Wildwood. Shudder.
However, it appears that there may finally be a reason to not hate New Jersey quite as much. Or at least to pretend you can stand it while you hang out in Jersey City this August. The All Points West festival will occur this summer, deep in the swamps of New Jersey’s Liberty State Park, brought to you by the wonderful people who plan the mystical Coachella in California every year.
And who’s headlining the festi but the best British band since the Beatles (NOT OASIS!!) - Radiohead. Not only are they headlining - they’re playing the first two nights.
That’s right. They’re playing two nights. Count ‘em - one. two. Two. Zwei. Dos. Due. Deux. 壹. Dois. Twee. Kettő. Tul. (Etc. etc.)
Two.
