On my way driving down to Cape May, NJ with my son to see the 1960's band "The Association" ("Cherish," "WIndy," "Never My Love," "Along Comes Mary," et. al.) we stopped in for lunch at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City.
Lots of historic Rock and Roll memorabilia to be sure, but --- the people. I was so non-impressed by all the slovenliness, piercings, body "art," ill-fitting attire, personal despiration in the eyes of the "victims" of the "one-armed-bandits," Black jack tables, etc.
And to think these places were allowed by the State of NJ to stay open during the pandemic when schools, churches, and, notably, Ian Smith's Atilis Gym were forced to close and to "distance."
Peter Frampton was scheduled to play a show that night. We passed.
Felt like I needed a shower after the visit.
By contast, "The Association" concert was phenomenal, and the guys came out for a meet and greet afterward. Made the trip all worth it!

Frampton Comes Unhinged!
