I hate award shows and people who say 'fiance' too much.
I have three beautiful sons that are lucky enough to look like their Mother. I spend all of my time with those little bastards. I'm rated 18th in the World for Competitive Eating. It makes my Mom nervous, she thought I was going to be a Doctor.
I like the smell of Gasoline

One of my favorite things is when my wife comes home with a bunch of trashy tabloids and we lay in bed with a glass of wine and laugh at Britney Spears.I hate award shows and people who say 'fiance' too much.

Steakbellie,
Wow, what album is that from - I can't place it and I'm a HUGE Bruce fan. ("Born to Run" is the best album ever released in the history of the world, IMHO.)
I'm pretty sure it's on 'The Essential Bruce Springsteen'
I'm a Darkness on the Edge of Town kinda guy...
Nebraska!
Not anymore.
My first big exposure to Springsteen was Born in the USA...one of the most commercially driven, over-produced pieces of crap ever made. That, coupled with the bizarre cult-like, "The Boss Can Do No Wrong" behavior of his fans turned me off his music for years and years. Then I heard the Nebraska album and it was really great, stripped down, lyricly solid music. Now I think he's an extremely talented guy who periodically cashes in and, as a result, has a fanbase of actual music lovers mixed with a disproportionally large collection of bleating sheeplike morons.
My mind is still not made up on which kind of fan you are, Steakbellie! :)
You've soiled this sacred place....
I'll accept that you change and mature over time. Your shift to the left. Your new photography subject matter. I'll even consider your 'claim' that you excercise regularly (who IS this guy?)
But I have a DAMN hard time accepting that you've listened to Bruce in Ernst....after hour upon hour of ridicule that you've heaped upon me and Mr Springsteen.
and as far as my own commitment, there are only 3 bands that survived my great (somewhat insane zealotlike) purging of Secular Music. The Alarm, The Smithereens's and Bruce Springsteen.
Your own 'enlightenment' was delayed because you would never let me play the tapes! I had 'Greetings from Asbury Park', 'The Wild, The Innocent , and the E Street Shuffle', 'Darkness on the Edge of Town' and 'Born to Run' all within your grasp....
This is all too much, I need a beer.....
I'm probably one of those bleating sheeplike morons... but I don't listen to any of his post 1993ish stuff. I can listen to 'Born to Run' and 'the River' over and over and over again (and I do). He was 25 when Born to Run was released. It's my favorite album by anyone-- I love every song on it.
In my iTunes as I write this is Springsteens "Greatest Hits" (which I consider to be a dubious collection of quality and mass-market appeal), a live performance (which has a top-notch version of Darkness on the Edge of Town, among others), Nebraska (solid through and through!), and Passaic Night. So there.
I never liked that Clarence guy either.
His guitarist makes a great mobster too.
DK - you're not a sheep. Its a cult! Pick the songs you like and stop holding the lighter up to everything else! :)
i think we have to acknowledge that Springsteen is actuall a Folk Singer and that his explorations have sometimes crossed paths with Pop and Rock Culture.
Most of his music tells a story with dialouge to-boot. He deals Social Issues...
Work
Love
Lust
Loss
Aids
Cancer
9/11
Police Brutality
and treats his concerts more like a self-excorcism, than a payday.
I rufuse to allow you the final word here!
I submit that you know nothing of Bruce Springsteens thoughts or mindset and therefore can never truly know how he treats his concerts. and would like to point out that he never wrote a song about AIDS until Hollywood paid him to.
wrong again BUCKO!!! he had already written the lyrics. He only had to put them to music for the movie...

"Demme asked Springsteen for a rock song to open his movie. Bruce started writing it based on lyrics he had previously written about the death of one of his friends, but it did not work over a rock beat. Springsteen sent what he came up with to Demme, considering it an unfinished demo. Demme loved it and felt it was perfect for his movie just as it was."
Furthermore...I went to the same High School as Bruce, and it is undisputable that I had the same locker as him.

the fume residual of our dirty socks co-mingled.
I'd love to use the word 'Gestalt' here.
Still, he never actually wrote the song (lyrics and music) until it was payday. Until then, it was a private musing.
His dirty socks mean nothing. Nothing, I say!
I consider this matter closed and anything further you say to be superfluous and unnecessary and, as such, not part of this conversation.
thats funny because I already considered this matter closed, and this is an automated response letting you know your feeble argument will not be read by human eyes.
and to further add
"I Win, I Win, Infinity."
What? You say something?
nope, I dont even know that you're still replying to this post.
What post?
did you fart? it kinda smells funny here...
Maybe.
I'm wait until you stop commenting here, and then I'll just add one more....
OK, so I just watched Springsteen on PBS. They aired a bunch of his New York City show. So anyway, I changed my mind.
what so now you hate him again? Flip-Flopper!
