Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Love this! I saw the Ramones in Aug 88 a few weeks before leaving for college. It was a steamy hot Jersey night. My pal Allen was 6’6” & had an afro. During the show we took off our shirts due to the heat & then hopped in his mom’s Buick wagon for the drive home on Rt 1 north.

Late that night, Allen arrived at the Lawrence traffic circle & proceeded to drive CLOCKWISE around it. We were soon pulled over by a Lawrence Twp police officer.

He looked at us two shirtless, scared sweaty teens, shook his head with disapproval & told us “just get the hell outta here.”

I’m assuming that crazy shit still happens at shows but it had a different flavor of intensity back then.
