If it gets good reviews, maybe I'll listen to it years later after the dust settles but I;m too pissed at leftoid idiots right now. As a casual Springsteen fan, it's not his best work. But then, nothing he's done since at least the mid 90s has been all that great. You shouldn't let your politics interfere with enjoyment of the arts. It's okay to separate the art from the artist. Roman Polanski is a POS. Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown are still great films. Bill Cosby's standup is still funny. I've heard some great music come from hardcore skinhead bands. Gross message, but it had a good beat and I could mosh to it! Quote

However, Bob Dylan has expressed admiration for Springsteen, and highly praised Bruce Springsteen’s 2015 MusiCares performance of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," describing it as a powerful and faithful rendition. Dylan stated that Springsteen "pulled all the power and spirituality and beauty out of it" and called him a "deep conscientious cat" who could "get to your heart". Quote
LaChup Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Bruce wishes he was "Born In The USSR", he wishes he was "Born In The USSR". He's an epic douchebagger. Quote

I once tortured myself getting in a car and with rap music, which is a genre I hate, (other than Weird Al who does it well), and then the lyrics were all about Ferguson and "our hands in the air".

Well, I said fock it. I gave it a listen after all. I don't like Bruce' politics but I've always liked and appreciated his music back when use to understand blue collar issues. Fortunately this one doesn't come off as a hit, but then I'm not an impartial judge as have contempt for the message. It came across as way too personal and direct, but then again, I had Four Dead in Ohio in mind as the bar Springsteen was trying to reach. That song is way more abstract with a simpler, less convoluted message, and sung by CSNY during their prime. Four Dead in Ohio stands the test of time as an all-time classic, we'll see how this song goes. Quote

Hardcore troubadour Posted January 30 Posted January 30 I have so much Springsteen material. Some rare bootlegs, some of them on vinyl. A lot of old concert T’s. I wonder what I could get for them? Quote

squistion Posted January 31 Author Posted January 31 From my friend Grok: Bruce Springsteen Debuts Protest Song for Minneapolis Victims at Benefit Concert Last updated 37 minutes ago At the 'Defend Minnesota' benefit concert Friday at First Avenue in Minneapolis, Springsteen unveiled 'Streets of Minneapolis,' written over a frantic weekend in response to the deaths of legal observer Renée Nicole Good on Jan. 7 and nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti on Jan. 24 during President Trump's Operation Metro Surge. The song names the victims, decries DHS enforcement actions, and vows to remember those lost, with all proceeds aiding their families amid ongoing protests and a DOJ civil rights probe into Pretti's shooting. Fans cheered the performance, Sen. Amy Klobuchar praised it, and the track topped iTunes charts in 18 countries, though critics like Megyn Kelly and the White House pushed back. This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs. Quote
Hardcore troubadour Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Springsteen has long been stoking the fires of violent behavior. He even spoke of spitting at someone’s car. I wonder if the deceased Pretti man was inspired to do so ? It’s disgusting to encourage such behavior. Quote

Hardcore troubadour Posted January 31 Posted January 31 I thought it was hilarious when Springsteen accidentally wrote an anti abortion song. His backtracking was weak. He stopped playing it. Quote

His version of Chimes Of Freedom was much better. Makes you sad that the term refugee would invoke such sympathy until the left bastardized the whole concept of taking in refugees, for their political gain. Quote

Flo and Eddie of The Turtles came on stage to sing the backup vocals to "Hungry Heart" as they did on the studio version. I got the tickets at the last minute because a friend of mine who bought them couldn't attend because he had to work that night. Quote
