Bill Chinook / Bruce Springsteen

Has anyone ever heard Bruce Springsteen mention Bill Chinook? Bill was a "founder" of early E Street Band w/ some members joining up w/ Bruce's band. He was making that Asbury sound before Bruce, but I have never heard "the Boss" mention him. I may be partial to him because he settled up here in Maine way back in the 1970's and played often in the bars and dance halls. And released a couple excellent albums, Dime Store Heroes is one of my favorites.

Well, Springsteen was a Republican during the 80's. As of 2000, he is on the dark side of democraps.  On the musical tip, the remasters featuring the Plangent Process are quite excellent.

Jafant, I hadn't heard that about Bruce, but Neil Young being a Reagan Democrat is well known.

The E Street Band doesn’t swing! Look at the drummer; he sits straight up, like the stick up his ...
The E Street Band isn't supposed to swing. It's rock, not swing.

i think the river is his best set of songs, but the albums i'm inclined to actually sit down and listen to are the folky ones-- tom joad and nebraska, where he sounds unforced and uninclined to make everything sound like an epic.
