Fifty States: New Jersey

John Gorka: I'm From New Jersey

[purchase]

I'm from Massachusetts, actually. But since I see from the blogger back-end that someone's got that one covered already with a great tune, I'll take any excuse to post one of my favorite 80s folk revival singer-songwriters two weeks in a row.

John Gorka is indeed from New Jersey; here he addresses the stereotype head on and hilariously.

Bonus and belated: I wasn't going to post doubles this week -- rules are rules -- but because he's another male singer-songwriter who emerged from the same 80s-era NYC folkscene, let's make the first exception, eh?
