Thank you.

I didnt have the energy to trash talk him properly because he sucks so much.

Just to put some sweet notes back in the brain pan after the Springsteen pollution: Something obscure I hope you enjoy.

You can see John Lennon grooving to the song the first time he heard it..and the guy from the Who is dancing around, too

I had to check as I remember I was 12 or 13 when that came out. Back then I would have never guessed he was pissing on the flag. After learning about his politics later did I know he was pissing on the flag figuratively. What’s the real story with this album cover? I always assumed they were treating Bruce like a hearthrob and wanted to garner more female fans by showing his rear end on the cover.

Springsteen should be the poster boy for CULTURAL APPROPRIATION. If it weren’t for Muddy Waters,Robert Johnson, Howling Wolf, Leadbelly and other bluesmen from the past he’d be just another Jersey White trash crashing Chevelles on the Garden State Pkwy

To be fair to the Boss - this Keef interview is from 1988. Keith Richards changed his mind and considers Bruce a genius after he heard “Outlaw Pete” in 2009.

Keith Richards might be unfiltered and he’s lived a lifestyle that no one should live but I often find myself saying in response to his outbursts “He’s right, you know.” On Springsteen, he’s right, you know.

Agree with Richards about Bruce, and always have. I’d add that Springsteen’s songs tend to be way too negative, and either demean blue collar America as poor, miserable losers, or are outright anti-America. Every time I hear Manfred Mann’s cover of Blinded by the Light, I get a little feeling of schadenfreude, knowing Bruce must hate that they actually made the song a hit. It was Manfred Mann’s version that gave Bruce his only Number 1 single, and it was as the songwriter.

Nothing says pretentious like men in their late 70s prancing about onstage.

Rename the band The Strolling Bones.

His first couple of albums (maybe 3, not sure) are works of pure genius. But yeah, he is a pretentious a-word. And a New Jersey pretentious a-word, so really he’s got it in spades.

annie leibowitz did the cover. supposedly of the pictures they took he thought his butt looked better than his face

the flag is not what he was thinking about putting on the cover because of the way it could be co-opted

i think this is folk lore that he is peeing on the flag

Well you know he got all the blood in his body replaced at one point. Don’t know if that’s true, but I remember hearing it years ago.
