I saw Springsteen in a little cafe in Bryan Mar, PA, back in the summer of 1974. Way before he was anyone. I was chasing sorority girls. Successfully. Also, Courtney Cox, the girl he pulls out of the crowd in Dancing in the Dark video, is a cousin of some sort!
I was talking to a guy I knew about not getting springsteen just the other day. he agreed. I do like that tenth avenue freeze out whatever the fuck it means i dunno. i saw joe cocker a few years back and he was awesome. worst faces ever is jonny lang. saw him a couple times and had a hard time looking at him at some points.
I never got Springsteen--was anything ever more annoying than "Born in the USA"? Oh, wait...yes--the entire catalog of U2. Talk about a band for the sheeple.
I have to throw the Police in to that mix. I liked a few songs from Synchronicity but overall.....yawn.
I have come to like Sting on his own but yeah, The Police....like the name alone is anti- anti-establishment, so boo on them.
thats a good point. plus ive always read how arrogant the dude is almost like he thinks he invented the idea of music. hes annoying and lackluster. kinda like bruce. i think new years day is the only song i like by u2. although I love jay mohrs impression of bono discussing how hes saving the rainforest.
