I took my then 12 year old son to the 2004 K-Rock Dysfuncional Family Picnic at Jones Beach Theatre primarily to see The Darkness who were an interesting phenomenon around that time and who we thought might be the “next big thing”. More notably, as it turned out, it would be the only time that I would catch the Beastie Boys perform in concert. My clearest memory of the event was, although the Cypress Hill had some really good songs, I had to take my son for a walk around the venue during their set as some aspects of the act, and some of the material, did not seem age appropriate for him at the time. The K-Rock “picnic”, and the station itself as a rock and roll entity, are both a thing of the past now, so I am glad that we had the opportunity to celebrate Howard Stern’s former home in person, at least this once, during this wild diverse concert line-up performing while at Jones Beach.

Rock on!
