agreed...saw him in concert in 1984 and i was a bit bored with the show..i also understand he was overall a good guy but this wall to wall mourning is out of control...
and as i said to someone this morning- imagine what its going to be like when springsteen dies? (another one whose music i dont like)...
will we be forced to publicly mourn (as when kim il jung died in NK)???
Springsteen has been openly political to the point that he’s fairly roundly condemned here, so there’s going to be at least one refuge when that day comes.
I keep wondering when McCartney or Mick Jagger dies what it will be like.
We don’t have to worry about Keith Richards, because he’s never going to die.
“will we be forced to publicly mourn”
Holy crap!!!! Where do you live???? I live in Minneapolis and we aren’t even being forced to mourn! That’s very strange that your city is forcing you to mourn!!!! <s
Ugh...when Springsteen croaks it will be another “loss to humanity” etc. I never cared for Springsteen’s music as well. Mostly because it is amateurish and anthemic. and one tune is too similar to another. I’m sure it’s great if you’re having a few drinks and cruising for girls in the bar, but as “art” it is uninspiring.
Same with Prince...his “art” was uninspiring.
