Exasperated, not angry.

I love that song. its sooooo sexy.
i love 'drive all night'
most songs like born to run, born in the usa etc etc he sounds putrid drunk
Loved Springsteen when I was in my teens, then didnt listen to him for the best part of twenty years but been listening to a lot of his songs again recently.
Favourite song is either The River or My Hometown
'They're closing down the textile mill 'cross the railway tracks, Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they aint coming back'
Always brings a tear to my eye.

i say different, he sounds drunk as fuck on that track
*gets fisticuffs*
oh and yeah Belushi is right "My Hometown" is another winner
hes made some great music, thats a fact, hes also made some awful music.
i will admit that i am a Bruce fan though.
My ignorance about Bruce Springsteen's music knows few bounds (apart from reading odd articles about his politics and stuff).
I have none of his stuff, and for whatever reason never got curious over the years. Not too likely to change , what little I've heard isn't really to my taste at all.
He may be at Glastonbury. I expect I'll work a shift during his set ... a really long shift probably!

oooh the BFL version's a bit lovely - didn't see that before
in return, thanks to Ae589, i have just found a johnny cash cover (apols if it's been mentioned already)
I fell asleep with the radio on the other day and woke up to what seemed, in my sleep-addled sleep, to be a mad and wonderful song. Turns out it was a Springsteen track with a brass band - very frenetic, almost ska-ish in places.
No idea if it's actually shit when I'm awake but in the interests of fairness, anyone know what it might have been?

does that have a full brass band - like, tubas and the works? almost a gypsy sound

It's that stuff that sort of attracts and repels at the same time for me (talking about the music generally rather than the stage shows). It's a bit like watching a Holywood film of white heterosexual working class life, maybe something with Mark Walhberg or a young Matt Damon in it. Holywood does it well, he does it well, but it's an essentialised cliché.

Hardly getting over it.
Greebo bought the Seeger Sessions album recently, which I like.

Just watching the Netflix special Springsteen on Broadway.
It's a 2 1/2 hour stage show with Bruce taking about his life and singing acoustic versions of his songs.
So far, it's fantastic. The man has so much charisma and the songs are great. It's made me laugh and cry.

I like some of his early 90s stuff. Human Touch, Better Days and Streets of Philadelphia were all great. I don't mind the 80s hits either like Born in the USA or Dancing in the Dark once in a while.
Hate all the cheesy 70s stuff with saxophones though like pretty much everything on the Born To Run album. Or that terrible Santa Claus Is Comin To Town. Yuk Yuk.

I'm watching it right now D'wards
Half an hour in and he's only just started the third song. He's such a brilliant storyteller as long as you accept the mythological patina and nostalgia he coats everything with, which I'm happy to do.

I get he's not for everyone, as are most things. Number of people I've defended myself against over their (wrong) opinion on Marillion, etc
