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

  • 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.

  • @Raveneffect22 Not True , Stockton is a very good city depending on where you live . if you live near UOP then it is very nice!

  • 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...)

  • Dude I know where that is im from merced, somewhere around there but not too close..

  • im with you buddy! ima tokay grad fag too

  • 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.

  • 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 lived in Manteca, a few miles away from Stockton, i miss the 209 and knowing Pavement was from there

  • 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.

    get a real hobby

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

  • I remember WALKING ON ROOF-TOPS back in the early 60's! Man From Uncle inspired us to jump and run! Thanks for sharing. Bob:-)
