Malkmus should have just told him to watch 'Dirty Mary Crazy Larry', by one of his very own Countrymen, John Hough, starring Countrywoman Susan George (now I'm engorged .. at her mention...)
Im from Stockton and living in Montreal. I hated Stockton but the Pavement dudes and music was the best thing that happened to 209 aside from Tower, Replay, Middah Goodwin, Chi Cheng, Willie Hines & the Punk Rock Love. Love & Hate. P.s My scout master in Stockton touched little boys.
I doubt anyone in Stockton, California could ever step to a 'glass guitar pick' especially not this 'malkmus' dude..
Basketball sucks yer not even a jock anyways why would you cultivate these people? jocks eat shit... especially the kind who play softball and live at ski resorts 'sports' are not your forte. Heroin is for losers.
You're all retarded, they just asked him a question and he gave them a quick lightened up answer. You know, lighten up? Maybe try it. Malkmus isn't Bob Dylan or Joni Mitchell, he's not gonna go on some huge stockton political rant lolz.
So, he gave them BS is what you're saying. He doesn't have to go on a political rant to paint a more accurate picture of Stockton. Or maybe that IS the view of someone who grew up more in Morada than Stockton.
...and I am retarded, but what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
Stockton is a dump. Every other person there looks like a thug. If you do manage to find a decent neighborhood, there will be assholes driving by with their cars blasting rap music up loud (it sounds like loud beating drums). There's nothing to do and no fun.
That's what Stephen should have said. At least he wouldn't be wrong.
wtf how could malkmus be such a bore, he's in his 40s still telling the same stories about skateboarding etc, what a waste. ecstasy in great quantities, be warned. this is just embarrassing stephen
You're an idiot. How would stories about your childhood change? How would you summarize your highschool days? History doesn't change. Stockton is a beige suburban wasteland ravaged by crack during Stephen's time and meth and stripmalls nowadays. He got out while he could, like Jason Lytle got out of Modesto more recently. I can't blame them; I did the same.
i agree! many people go to the suburbia of the valley the arm pit of california, to get away from high priced areas like the bay area. thats why my family went out there in 1990. now things are different. people are leaving. and more people are coming.
No I believe he went to tokay, so im assuming police there bust people, especially kids for anything. My friend got busted wearing a cop uniform, with 200 bucks in weed and booze on him and the cop let him go, but before the cop did he fucked with him for 30 minutes scaring the shit out of him.
that is the worst description of stockton, but what more is there to say about this shithole.
They didn't have gated communities in Stockton back then, moron. Brookside was the first and that didn't come around until he was gone. He grew up in Morada and his family later moved to Wood Duck Circle. He didn't like Stockton, went to college all the way across the country, in Virginia, and moved away as soon as he could...I think skateboarding, troublemaking and cops would suffice as a description of his time in Stockton.
So driving around Lincoln Village West in 1982-ish, being black and in a 98 olds would have been okay? Or being white and driving on Charter in a toyota Corolla would have been okay. Yeah, I know there were no gateed communities like Bookstone, but anyhthing north of March and south of Hammer was pretty gated..and by gated I mean white. The same is true, in a bizarro sense, about anything south of Harding.
If Malc lived in Morada then he didn't really live in Stockton. And Quail Lakes was like the gated community without a gate. Beside they didn't ask him what his childhood was like, they asked what manner of place Stockton was and his response was retarded. Ask anyone who lives there, whether they like the place or not, and I doubt their description would be skateboarding and cheerleaders.
if you went to tokay yeah!! he's from north stockton, quite different than south stockton. but that's not to say his opinion doesn't matter. everyones interpretation of stockton is different.
that's totally my description of Stockton and Lodi. Skateboarding & fuckin cheerleaders. He forgot to mention Latino wannabe gangsters & more than half of the population hang around town in their sweatpants.
This guy is supposed to be creative, right? Why not talk about about crack, open-air drug markets, crime, nothing for kids to do, etc... or if wanted to be nice he could have talked about great produce, lots of history, the Delta, great architecture, etc. But no, he tricked his parents, hopped on rooftops and had a brief run-in with the police. Wow, he was a wild man.

The best way to get a glimpse of what being in Stockton feels like is to listen to Pavement.

I'd have to say Pavement is the only good thing to come out of Stockton.

There are two types of people who grow up in Stockton: the one's who never leave and the ones who never go back.

Well I'm sure it was very different in the early 1980s when Malkmus was a kid, which is what he's describing, dumbfuck.
