Springsteen a Hobbyist?

Springsteen is for Grannies?

If Springsteen is for Grannies then Meister is for little boys

Let me put it to you this way. Having to sit through and listen to "Born in the USA" one more time is like:

- shaving yourself with a rusty bread knife
or
- finding something in a soup at Wendy's
or
....


OK, may be I am exaggerating

I'm going to take this thread on a tangent based on meister's comments... I agree there do seem to be plenty of songs which one wishes could be put to death... not because they are bad songs per se, but because you have heard them a zillion times and really don't need to hear them anymore.

Here's the weird thing though... my car is really the only place where I listen to the radio, and for many years I have had a variety of presets, covering the full gamut of radio music formats--Top 40, alternative, oldies, urban, classic rock, etc. For the longest time I avoided the classic rock station. I just didn't need to hear 'Smoke on the Water' or 'Good Times Bad Times' again. But sometime in the last 6 months I started listening to the classic rock station again, and I found myself staying there. I guess it is a sign of getting old, but I find I'd much rather hear 'Dream On' and 'Highway to Hell' for the zillionth time, than 90% of the other crap on the radio.

Musicians/Artists have been singing and writing about SP's for ages, we are just popular subjects/muses! LOL

Yes, that is for sure. The woman Vincent Van Gogh lost his ear over was indeed an sp. The precise names are escaping me at the moment, but there have been many artists who have been inspired by sp's.

Great, that's just great. Getting geezer counsel from zydeco... that just really makes my day.

I remember seeing him 30 years ago at Seneca College just after Born To Run came out, one of my fondest memories as a teenager.

Hey. I was at that show. Long lineup through a single set of doors into the gymnasium. I bought all three of his albums the next day. Gotta admit, though, I've become rather bored of him. Having said that, I'll probably buy his new CD.

On a side note, I saw, for the first time, my current fav, Ryan Adams at Kool Haus last night. Excellent show.

Starbucks puts lid on Springsteen CD, cites lyrics

The album is the first CD ever by Springsteen to get an advisory label because of the steamy lyrics on the single "Reno," which includes a description of anal sex and an encounter with a prostitute.

No doubt all of this publicity will only serve to make record sales go through the roof!
