Basically, my interest in music, aside from opera (and that mostly limited to Wagner & Mozart), is the American Songbook.

Yes, it was sometime in the 90s. I loathe Springsteen music. The New York Times is drooling over “his brilliant” autobiography today. Just like I had to put up with them drooling over Patti Smith.

Lol, you're a pistol. I enjoy classical music. BUT...Wagner. I imagined he was probably the overly dramatic 'Freddy Mercury' of his time. Loved his 'Kill The Wabbit' rendition (if you're a Bugs Bunny fan ;-)

Can't go wrong with the American Standards (slowly dying, unfortunately.)

Hey! You mean you didn't purr as The Boss growled, "Strap your hands cross my engines"?? Or relate to every other song in the context of rolling in the dirt or "out in the street"? Very earthy stuff.

Had no idea he wrote an autobiography. Predictable that the Times would be drooling over it. WHATEVER he wrote (see about for brief synopsis of his bio, lol.)

Patti Smith? At her *best* I regarded her as I would an overstuffed unhygienic ashtray. Musically and personally.
