Bruce Springsteen dead?...
Is what I thought this morning when I hopped in my car and sped off to work this morning hearing an old man talking about paying tribute to Bruce and reading glory day's lyrics in a somber fasion giving me the impression he had died. Then he quit reading and said something about how much Bruce did for the common man, etc then BBC news came on. So I flipped the station and they were playing Born in the USA it ended and the DJ said and that concludes this mornings tribute to Bruce Springsteen then a commercial comes on so I flip through some stations and another Springsteen song is just ending, but this time the DJ say "Wishing You a Happy Birthday Bruce." Man I can see how 'War of the Worlds' got out of hand now.

OK! .......Exactly what did he do for the "common man" besides make records that sold in the millions and made him a billionaire? Was he another Mother Theresa for Christs sake?............Uncle Rich

Can you not just wish the guy a Happy Birthday and move on, I myself didn't say he did alot for the common man thats what the radio announcer said. I will say that his music does show he has a connection with our working class heroes, and you know it does take time and energy to write, produce and perform music.

Your taking something personal that wasnt directed at you at all. My comments were directed at the announcer. And I could care less about his B-Day. Hes just another rich guy intent on getting richer Manlicon. And the entertainment industry is probably the greediest and irresponsable of the corporations you often write about.
Writing lyics isnt a connection with anything. And they write,produce, and perform music for one reason only. To make money!

damn it manic don't do that! we still listen to bruce in this house n my kids ages 14 n 8 are fans. it started w us laughing at adam sandler imitating bruce n then me asking if they wanted to hear the real guy. and i think bruce is in tune with the river of human emotion that runs thru all of us. his music is something people can relate to he is not just another rich guy getting richer looking down at the rest of us. so he was smart enuf to get rich of his talent don't be hatin.
happy birthday bruce. ![]() |

Men walkin' long the railroad tracks
Goin' someplace there's no going back Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge Shelter line stretchin' round the corner Welcome to the new world order Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest No home no job no peace no rest The highway is alive tonight But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag Waitin for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass Got a one-way ticket to the promised land You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock Bathin' in the city aqueduct The highway is alive tonight Where it's headed everybody knows I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad Now Tom said "Mom wherever there's a Rich46yo/dg806 beatin' a guy Wherever a newborn baby cries Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air Look for me Mom I'll be there Wherever there's somebody fightin'for a place to stand Or decent job or a helpin' hand Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me." Well the highway is alive tonight But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes I'm sittin down here in the campgire light With the ghost of old Tom Joad

I like Fortunate Son, but that is a Fogerty song. Did you know Bruce wrote Blinded by the Light? Saw him do a version of it unplugged and he said that he wrote that song but Manfred Mann ended up singing it.
If sense were common, everyone would have it.

While I enjoy the music the one thing that bothers me about the spoiled brats that write the lyrics is that not only have they never personaly experienced the shit 99% of the time, but the other 99% of the time the fucking thing never even happened.................Uncle Rich.....
