The “Summer Breeze” wafting from usually doesn’t carry rock music, but over the years, touring artists such as and the Beach Boys have taken the stage at the Great Auditorium with their smooth “Yacht Rock” sounds and intricate harmonies.
John Lyon, better known as South Side Johnny, graduated from Neptune High School in 1967 and has been “Havin’ a Party” ever since as a long-time resident of Ocean Grove.
And even Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen were spotted this past March at the Ocean Grove Youth Temple. Springsteen and the E-Street band were using the venue as a rehearsal hall for their Land of Hope and Dreams Tour.

🎤continues as the Neptune Library Archives highlights the career of Neptune musician Q. 🎶

When scrolling through endless TikTok and Instagram posts, you’ve probably come across an influencer using the song “Goodbye Horses” by Q Lazzarus as background music. But who was ?

After graduating from Neptune High School in 1979, Q Lazzarus, aka Diane Luckey, moved to New York City to write songs and break into the music business. As a struggling artist, Luckey drove a yellow cab to pay the bills. On one fateful day, film director Jonathan Demme climbed into the back of Luckey’s taxi while she was singing. Demme liked what he heard and decided to include Luckey’ song “Goodbye Horses” on the Silence of the Lambs soundtrack. Luckey made an on-screen appearance in another Demme film, Philadelphia, where in one scene she sings a cover of the Talking Heads’ “Heaven.”

Despite passing away in 2022, interest in Luckey’s career was rekindled by the 2024 documentary “Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus.”
