At the Beach

Pix from a recent trip to Rockaway Beach. And incidentally, the Ramones are right. It's not all that hard to reach. You ride the subway for about an hour, hour and a half, get off, buy a two dollar grass mat on the side of the street, and you are there, there's an ocean and you can swim in it and everything.


Chewing out a rhythm on my bubble gum
The sun is out and I want some.
Its not hard, not far to reach
We can hitch a ride
To rockaway beach.
Up on the roof, out on the street
Down in the playground the hot concrete
Bus ride is too slow
They blast out the disco on the radio
Rock rock rockaway beach
Rock rock rockaway beach
We can hitch a ride
To rockaway beach
Its not hard, not far to reach
We can hitch a ride
To rockaway beach.

-Los Ramones, fr. 'Rocket to Russia'


Awww yeah...
