The Boss is the Bo$$

Spencer - Try Stones from the River ( movie version )

I guess all of you Springsteen bashers are much better song writers than Bruce. For all of us that grew up handing out on the streets and boardwalks he wrote anthems that connected with all of us.

His early albums are still some of my favorites and I can still remember the first time I heard Born To Run on the radio.

Merry Christmas Baby(s)......

"I guess all of you Springsteen bashers are much better song writers than Bruce."

Tough crowd in here, tglib.

I  could care less about an artists personal beliefs, as it seems to bother some.

Springsteen did a heck of a lot better than ZZ Top with their measly 50 million. 

@tgilb - Are you saying one shouldn't criticize anything that one cannot do better? That otherwise we should not have an opinion on it? 

I wish I could post photos from my computer files; I'd put one up that I took of Bruce and Clarence at a show in 1975 in Oakland... 

I'm not a Bruce-basher, not a big fan either. Born to Run was a great homage to the Phil Spector sound and had some awesome songs, as did 'Darkness', but I didn't follow him after that.

Happy Holidays!!
