1. Meh, I've never been a fan of his music
Love his politics, but not the music.

5. Born to Run ...
STILL an amazing piece of music ...

I own NO Springsteen albums or CD's, but I gotta give the man credit ... He is a living icon ...

6. I did a cross-country road trip w/nothing but Springsteen tapes
He got us down many a stretch of highway. Sort of set the mood for the different legs of the trip.

I love both.

In fact, I remember when "Born to Run" originally came out. It got a lot of play in my dorm room. :blush:

Bruce Springsteen :woohoo:

7. I finally saw Bruce in concert end of last year
in Portland. He was great. I love that guy. He kills every time something special happens. I remembe the sadness and hopefulness when he played in Boston for John Kerry in 2004. I remember at 9/11 special memorial concert he sang "My city of ruins"

"My City's In Ruins"

There is a blood red circle
On the cold dark ground
And the rain is falling down
The church door's thrown open
I can hear the organ's song
But the congregation's gone
My city of ruins
My city of ruins

Now the sweet bells of mercy
Drift through the evening trees
Young men on the corner
Like scattered leaves,
The boarded up windows,
The empty streets
While my brother's down on his knees
My city of ruins
My city of ruins

Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!

Now's there's tears on the pillow
Darlin' where we slept
And you took my heart when you left
Without your sweet kiss
My soul is lost, my friend
Tell me how do I begin again?
My city's in ruins
My city's in ruins

Now with these hands,
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for the strength, Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for the faith, Lord
We pray for your love, Lord
We pray for the lost, Lord
We pray for this world, Lord
We pray for the strength, Lord
We pray for the strength, Lord

Come on
Come on
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
