Springsteen just said "Bring 'Em Home" live on the Grammies

[Hissyspit]

at the conclusion of his performance of "Devils and Dust."

[acmavm]

1. Yep, wasn't it friggin' great? n/t

[billbuckhead]

2. Maybe Bruce should be a Senator

He's certainly a true patriot of the Consitution.

[Hissyspit]

3. Yup, some people gave him a standing ovation. Some didn't.

Bono stood and applauded. U2 won Song of the Year, not "Devils and Dust," though it was nominated.

[DanCa]

9. Another travesty imo of course I am way biased.

I got my springsteen D&D t shirt on, and I am wearring my hohner neck holder with my key of D marine band harmonica locked in place.

[Patiod]

30. Saw the Born to Run Tour

when I was 16. Have been hooked ever since. First big artist that I got into before they were Big -- he had me at "Rosalita".

Plus he's a good human being, which is a nice extra.

[JerseygirlCT]

31. Yup. Same here! nt

[liveoaktx]

17. VIDEO

Bring 'em home

[LibertyorDeath]

37. Wow that was good!

Damn!
Thanks!!
:toast:

[bpilgrim]

4. YES!

peace

[DanCa]

5. It was awesome wasn't it?

Amazing all his talent, playing two instruments at once, and people still don't give him the respect he deserves. The Boss is still the best.

[woodsprite]

6. Hey, I said the same thing in a

group prayer at my daughter's youth group meeting at church. Our minister is taking them to see a movie at Hagley Museum and meet civil rights activist Rev. Maurice J. Moyer (still a minister in our Presbytery). I'm psyched! My daughter is the one who requested going and the new minister jumped on the bandwagon :)

BTW, I received many thanks for remembering our servicemen and women. I told them I shouldn't need to be thanked. Bringing them home alive and now should be in the forefront of everyones minds.

[Hissyspit]

7. Recommend this to Greatest Page, if you would. I'd like every DUer

to know about this.

[DanCa]

8. I put my finger on the trigger and recommended it. (nt)

[Hissyspit]

12. Turn right at the light, head straight into night, and then boy, you're

on your own.

[DanCa]

16. Well they closed down the auto plant in maw wah late last month

Ralph went out looking for a job but couldn't find none. He came home, too drunk, from mixing tanqueray and wine. He shot a night clerk and now they call him Johnny 99.

[Benhurst]

10. recommended

[Coexist]

11. I saw it - it was awesome

he got a rousing applause - but some didn't seem willing to be caught on t.v. standing up!

[bullimiami]

13. he was here in miami with kerry. it was incredible.

[rabbit2484]

21. They were awesome in madison too

I love the the boss. Saw him twice this summer, both great shows.

[FreedomAngel82]

14. Yay!

[Batgirl]

15. How dare he defile the sanctity of the Grammy ceremony?

It's just wrong to show that kind of disrespect for the president when it's possible he might have been watching tv.

[Hissyspit]

18. LOL. Yeah, the Academy Awards were so dignified and exciting

over the years and then Michael Moore defiled them! :P

What's with these people telling the truth in the middle of our overblown self-congratulatory spectacles?

[DanCa]

19. But but isn't Georgie in bed by eight?

Right after his milk and cookies?

[Hissyspit]

20. And he certainly won't read about it in the papers tomorrow.

Guess he'll never hear about it, but quite a few other people around the world heard it.

[DarkTirade]

22. Awesome.

Too bad I was working at the time. :( I did manage to catch Paul McCartney's performance with Linkin Park and some other rapper in the breakroom TV though. :)

[me b zola]

23. Wow! I must buy the cd

Tonight was the first time that I heard the song, to say it was touching would be an understatement. I was so proud of Springsteen for saying "bring 'em home" when he finished the song. It is what so many of us want.

[bklyncowgirl]

24. Will right wing pundits spend the day trashing Bruce?

Two days worth of Carter and Lowry bashing over Coretta Scott King's funeral is getting a bit old. Maybe now they'll turn on Bruce.

No biggie--he's used to it and can fire back with the best of them.

Maybe he can put Rush and Sean and Hannity and Tucker in a song.

[0007]

25. Got my vote! Now let's run that little chicken shit lying

mother right out of our White House into the Hague.

[JuneInJax]

26. that was

the singular best moment in the whole Grammy show!! I adore that man!
:)
Moni

[librechik]

32. epiphany, in spades

brought me to tears--go BRUCE!!!

[foreverdem]

27. I love Bruce

He's always been very upfront about how he feels about the war and this administration and he's never been afraid to put it right in their faces. Bruce is the best.

[Nordmadr]

28. In Bruce We Trust. N/T

[wicket]

29. AMEN!

n/t

[txindy]

33. K&R for The Boss

:patriot:

[Hissyspit]

34. Freepers are SHOCKED to find...

out he's a liberal! Shocked I tell you! Have they never listened to the narrative prelude to "War" on the LIVE '75-'85 album? He lost his first band's drummer to Vietnam, fer Chis'sakes. Have they never listened to "My Hometown." Have they never listened to his lyrics at all??

[peekaloo]

35. Seriously? Bruce headlined the Vote For Change tour in '04.

oh, that would require an important component in one's thinking abilities.....a memory.

:bounce:

[mzmolly]

36. What WILL they say when they find out about Faith Hill, Tim McGraw,

Trish Yearwood and others. ;)

[DanCa]

38. The freepers still think that Born in the USA is a national song

It amazes me that Born in the USA is one of the greatest protest songs written of all time and the freeps think it's a song about nationalism. It seems to me that all they want to hear is a big sound and big beat and an easy chorus. If they'd paid attention to lyrics they'd might actually learn something. Hmm is it any surprise that they get the bible backwards? They just pick out one or two sentances that they like and dismiss the rest.

[stickdog]

39. Freepers are so dumb that they think it's an anti-abortion anthem.

They also think he's called The Boss because of his hyper-capitalism.

[DanCa]

40. I guess the Freepers dont realize that the Boss

gives money to the local food banks where he performs at. An act of charity should have been the first clue to the Freepers that Bruce is a liberal. Of course the Boss doesn't brag about his good works.

[Hissyspit]

41. Yes, but anyone who has been to most any of his concerts since

and including the "Born In The U.S.A." tour (and a LOT of people went to shows on that tour) would know about the food banks since he makes the announcements during the concert that people should donate (if they want) in the lobby areas. I never fail to be amazed at the freeper letters to Backstreets Magazine saying "I'll never listen to him again!" after ALL the past evidence of where Springsteen's political and humanitarian moral and ethical compass points - including among other things, the "American Skin (41 Shots)" controversy. These people are just oblivious!

[DanCa]

45. At the devils in dust tour in Chicago Bruce took a good shot a Dubya.

He said that there's a lot of perks in being the Boss, and he went into a funny list of them.
He also that that there is a downside that I haven't been invited to the White House lately, but of course knowing what we got in there I wouldn't want to be.

PS Do you have any information on Backstreets magazine. Please pm me. I am still in mourning over sirius eighty sixing the E Street Radio Channel.

[IndyOp]

42. Remember when Raygun was in love with "Born in the USA!"

I had listened to the song a few hundred times and could not figure out how in the hell Raygun or anyone in his entourage could not have gotten that it was a song about a young man BETRAYED by the USA...

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "Son, don't you understand"

I had a brother at Khe Sahn fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone

He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.

[Hissyspit]

43. You have to be delusional or oblivious.

Or lying. Not really any other possibilities.

[fujiyama]

44. I never had paid attention to thte lyrics

as I'm somewhat young myeself. Those arere very raw and biting.

That cannot be mistaken for any kind of mindless nationalistic song. Of course knowing his politics in general, it wouldn't be like to write or sing mindless jingoistic crap like Lee Greenwood. I remember he told Reagan to stop using his song as well during the campaign.....

[stepnw1f]

46. I Really Like this Guy

I have more and more respect for him, as I learn more about who he is and what he stands for. He's the real deal...
