Default Porch light keeps blowing bulb

Different brand of bulb. When I had my retail shop, Phillips
bulbs would blow if they were vibrated (like my bench
grinder). GE, I think it was, the bulbs would keep on
lighting, while my bench grinder was running.

About every 5th time (+/-) the light is turned on the bulb
blows.
Sometimes it can go a dozen times, sometimes just a couple
times.
There are other lights on the same circuit and they don't
experience the
same problem.

I'm going to get into it this weekend to check the line
voltage and make
sure all of the connections at the light and switch box are
secure and
insulated but I can't imagine a loose connection or even a
short would
blow a bulb (am I wrong on this?).

What else should I be looking for?

Thanks in advance!
