1. Yep.

Listened to "Nebraska" today, actually.

[Debbi801]

24. That is actually my favorite album of his...

I've been a fan since the first time I heard Born to Run as a teen.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

25. I can't decide if Nebraska or Born to Run is better.

Both excellent, though, of course. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

The Boss...

10. You're pretty easy going

Or ambivalent.

9. Have loved his work for a long time.

Badlands is my all time favorite song. Trade out the word "fields" for factory and he sang for me in the 80's.

[Reverend_Smitty]

11. Hell yeah!

Seen him in concert 6 times and have tickets for October, 17th at the Garden!!!

[Mike03]

12. Of course

He inscribed the road map for my life.

[CBHagman]

13. "I lost everything I ever loved or feared."

Yeah, I'm a Springsteen fan, have spent eight hours of my life at his concerts -- which, as you know, works out to two concerts.

[Kool Kitty]

14. I am.

And my son was one of the crew putting in the heating and air conditioning system in Springsteen's new house last week. (Which I thought was pretty cool.)

[pokerfan]

15. Clapton vs. Springsteen?

Slowhand vs. The Boss? I know, apples and rutabegas.

Obviously they're both great. One is one of the greatest guitarists and the other is more singer/songwriter.

But it just seems to me that Eric is trying a little too hard to force the image of the road weary bluesman. Bruce is just letting it come to him.

I guess I tilts a little more towards the one creating new and interesting music than the one who is more technically (and awesomely) proficient. My thoughts, anyway.

Addendum: Reagan thought that "Born in the USA' was patriotic. Maybe it was, just not in the way he was thinking.

[KamaAina]

32. Funny you should mention "patriotic"...

post-Reagan repukes -- including Alice Cooper! :puke: -- just don't seem to get it.

16. Love Springsteen

Have seen him live several times.

[Eurobabe]

17. Streets of Philadelphia, yeah

song not only makes me very homesick, but is one of his best works, IMHO.

[Patiod]

20. I assume you'll be watching the game this afternoon

or at least following it on the computer?

[Eurobabe]

31. no I forgot, and they lost

:mad:

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

18. Bought it yesterday...

Very good stuff.

[raccoon]

19. Yes! I love his work.

He says such intelligent things. One of my favorite quotes:

"There's things that'll knock you down you don't even see coming..."
("When You're Alone")



I've been saying for ages that "My Hometown" should be the national anthem. :-)

[Patiod]

21. Only since 1976

Kind of a johnny-come-lately for a Philadelphian! He had me at "Rosalita", and I've been a huge fan ever since. Concert prices have stopped me from seeing him live too often (only 4 times) but in many ways he's been part of the soundtrack of my life.

I've noticed he's mostly a Northeast/Rust Belt "thing" - that folks in the West generally don't "get" Springsteen.....

[zanne]

22. Classic American Rock. I love it. nt

[mvd]

26. Big fan here!

I am proud to say that Magic rocks!

[mvd]

30. BTW, can the state of professional music reviews be any worse?

There are a few (Stylus Magazine, Village Voice, Austin Chronicle - stupid sources anyway) reviews that are bashing even Bruce's great new CD. I mean, what do they want? It's classic Bruce. I refuse to even visit some sites again over this.

[Bennyboy]

27. Bay Area PEEPS! Bridge School possible!

he has rescheduled the LA show to Monday. he plays Frdiay in San jose. Bridge School is Sat and Sunday and lists special guest...so draw your own conclusions...

[Mike03]

28. Are you Kidding?

My roomate in college put it this way:

"There is life before Springsteen, and life after you are introduced to Springsteen."

That was the summer that Bruce was touring with Born in the USA, and A bunch of friends and I saw him at the Los Angeles colisium, and it is one of those nights that changes your life forever. There's no going back after you have seen Bruce live.

P.S.

The night we saw him live in Los Angeles was the first night he performed his song "Seeds", which is one of his most amazing songs ever, and it is only available on his live set.

[martymar64]

29. Candy's Room is the best song of all time

Nuff Sed !

[KamaAina]

33. I've been on a particularly heavy Bruce wavelength today

a) he is the unofficial poet laureate of NJ, which is where a great rent has been torn in DU's social fabric :( , and

b) he has a song (on "The River") called "Sherry Darling"! :evilgrin:
