The Boss is the Bo$$


Bruce Springsteen gets paid

I lost interest after Darkness but, good for Bruce.

Now that it’s sold, can he rerecord his catalog like Taylor Swift is doing and sell it a second time for more?

Good for Bruce. Get the money while you can. 
I’ll take Born To Run over just about any other rock album that came out in 1975. And the same for Darkness. I still have my original copy of Darkness and the SQ is fantastic. It hasn’t lost its magic.

 

What's left to say about him. He earned his money fair and square. His first couple of albums were interesting and fun, and degree by degree, he became a hyper political bore. I can't stomach to listen to anything by him for years now.

Springsteen at the Inglewood Forum, in the wake of (what was it?) the release of Darkness on the Edge of Town, remains one of the best live concerts I've ever attended. In my personal concert-going history it ranks up there with Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic. Yeah, he eventually ran out of steam but "Born to Run", "The Wild The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle" and "Darkness on the Edge of Town" were on my turntable for years. It was Springsteen's twangy guitar playing that prompted me to abandon both my Strat and my Les Paul for a vintage Tele. It's only the advent of New Wave and Punk Rock several years later that finally displaced Springsteen as my go-to rock'n'roll.

roxy54, I can understand your feelings. The same thing happens to me when I hear Clapton or Kid Rock or Van Morrison.
