The Daily Show Jon Stewart, Fugazi & Bad Brains Riot on the Dance Floor Film Trailer

[HoroxIsxMahxWaifu]

You know that place fucking sucks when the motherfuckers from Leeway get robbed.

That actually is Jon Stewart in the front of the trailer. He was a bartender at the club for 2 years. Jon speaks of seeing the Bad Brains & Bad Religion at the club, two bands he is a fan of. He also once disarmed a gunman at City Gardens when tending bar... a story he told on Larry King.

The song at the end of the trailer is "Insert Motivation Here" by A Fire Still Burns.

[IATIKa0tiC]

THat does not sound like John Stewart one bit

[TsMaLLz789]

Who sings that song at the end of this video?

[kentuckychromedesign]

It's not the Outhouse in Lawrence, Kansas...but it's something.

[ajmorocco]

Looks amazing, can't wait to see the finished product.

omg they just showed a shot of my uncle randy skinny... hilarious!!!

[needmorecowbell1]

haha randy now is my uncle. wish i was old enough to go to city gardens! luckily i have a lot of his music knowledge though. and i put all those records he's holding into alphabetical order!!

I read news during some his shows in the late 80s, and by the mid-90s was a DJ in my own right and sometimes followed his shift. He was always, as mentioned in the trailer, an easy-going guy to talk to/work with,

Of course, the fact that my college days are long enough ago to be the subject of a retro/biopic just makes me want to chase people off my lawn ...

[SirPenguin]

(The original Prince Buster 45 of "One Step Beyond" was his intro music and ran on all his ads, I still can't get that damn tune out of my head 20 years later) He also did an annual Christmas show for the station where we got to hear a lot of the records he was showing off during the trailer, all kinds of bizarre and rare holiday tunes.

[SirPenguin]

Randy "Now" Ellis (the postman, City Gardens manager, and subject of the flick) was also a volunteer DJ at the station, which played almost entirely alternative/indie bands you couldn't find anywhere else, as well as a variety of specialty shows. He probably got a lot of his booking ideas/contacts/demos from his work at the station. He was also the DJ and host for "One Step Beyond", what was then the longest-running all-ska radio show in the nation.

[SirPenguin]

Wow, I can actually say "I know this guy!" ...

I went to Trenton State (now The College of New Jersey) and from 1988-1996 was a DJ and News staff at WTSR, the school's radio station. Unlike most college stations that barely reached the edge of campus, WTSR had a 30 mile range from New Brunswick to Northeast Philly, which was a rarity for a non-commerical, completely student-run station.

Does anyone know what the song around 2:49 when he's showing his house is?

[Alphabex8]

Crashnobody, Thanks bud!

[yazid3848]

Prince Buster wasnt a member of the Skatalites... He is referring to the original members from back in the 60s i believe there is only 2 alive out of the original 9 so they are pretty much all gone...

[Christianpasaoa]

Prince Buster is still alive...

[crashnobody]

@MRSICKYNARNAR The Fire Still Burns - "Insert Motivation Here"

[MRSICKYNARNAR]

[Hendy100]

Thank you Randy for all the love you put out with City Gardens!!!

[vasarian]

Awesome! I saw so many shows there. From drinking with Social D (and hangin' w/ Dennis - original guitarist) and spliffing it w/ Jock from G.B.H. - I was at the Exploited show they talked about. Great to see Randy still spinning !
