Any Southside Johnny fans?
Forums:
Apple Music recently suggested some of his music and there are a couple of songs I really like: Trapped Again and Broke Home Piece Of Man, both which are duets with Bon Jovi. Great stuff.
I cant seem to find any info on “broke home piece of man”, though. Was Southside an orphan?

It's Broke DOWN Piece of Man,
It's Broke DOWN Piece of Man, funny you should post this, I just bought a SSJ cd Live ay the Stone Pony where he covers a Little Steven record called Men Without Women that Steven wrote for SSJ but that was never released by SSJ. Its a great cd, been a fan since I saw him when I Don't Wanna Go Home came out and he schleeped the band up to the Bottom Line. Heart of Stone and Better Days are his best IMO

I just looked it up and I was
I just looked it up and I was mistaken. A “broken home” means your parents divorced, not that you were orphaned.
Did his parents divorce? That’s probably what it’s about.

Fan here and on more than one
Fan here and on more than one occasion, I have been mistaken as him, including one time security tried to rush me in the artists entrance at a Bruce Springsteen holiday show at Convention Hall in Asbury Park. The show was about to start and Johnny was MIA...lol.
Neither of the above referenced songs are duets. Broke Down Piece of Man was co-written by Steve Cropper of the Stax label house band. The other author was Joe Shamwell, who co-wrote a ton of songs with Issac Hayes, Booker T., William Bell and countless others. Trapped Again was actually Southside's first co-write with Stevie Van Zandt and Bruce Springsteen.

With my hair falling like Southside's often does, when I wear similar sunglasses, some people seem to think so. Go figure.

Knot's photo is actually a
Knot's photo is actually a composite of several AMSaddler's PR shots. AM appears in different guises depending upon which show he is shooting.
The three guys on the right with the same 'Beatle Boots' sort of gives it away, but most security staff don't pay attention to the shoes.

One time I was at a Vivaldi
One time I was at a Vivaldi show at the Philharmonic, chasing this Classical Chick. Dude in a Dark suit and tophat in the next Box is liek, 'Hey Disco!' and of course it was AMS. You wouldn't have known -- he looked like a younger Cassius Clay.
Another time I was taking a tour of the Bronx Zoo, and this Orangutan motions me over, then says "Stu you're in my shot. Move ten feet to the Left". Guess who ?

If you are new to SSJ and Coyote and Skifurther may disagree, I recommend Hearts of Stone, Better Days and This Time It's For Real as studio cd's to check out and Skifurther nice pics on Backstreets yesterday

The Southside & The Jukes catalog goes deep but their best stuff has always been live. No argument on the above songs, EBY. One of the amazing things about The Jukes is how many of the alumni have "made" it over the years. Although some might not be household names and some are, they ended up producers, musicians, TV personalities, record label brass and successful music promoters. One of my favorite SSJ & TAJ songs has current Conan O'Brien bandleader, Richie "La Bamba" Rosenberg, included in the "lyrics." This one goes back to '78 and another member of Conan's band,
Mark "The Loveman" Pender still has hair.

Upon re-listening to Broke
Upon re-listening to Broke Down Piece of Man, it is indeed a duet. The other voice on the song is Steven Van Zandt. My apologies for posting from memory.

Somehow I missed this when it
Somehow I missed this when it first was released SSJ and La Bamba Big Band, Grapefruit Moon. Covering the songs of one Tom Waits, in big band style pretty good to these ears, now if I could only find La Bamba and the Hubcaps, not sre it was every a commercial release
