Can’t stand the guy
For those interested, Amazon prime video has a bunch of documentaries about specific albums under the umbrella name “classic albums”.
I highly recommend searching it. They cover the album, track by track, and even use the multitrack mixer to remove or solo instruments. It’s quite interesting.
The one on Don McClain’s “American Pie” was amazing, and I expected it to be boring. And Bat out of Hell was a favorite.
I always hear “wrapped up like a douche”.
Damn! Now I have that song in my head.
No one cares
He was blinding by the police car lights.
I guess things went over my head.
I remember Manfred Mann’s version of it, and at that age I frankly didn’t understand the lyrics, or the symbolic hidden meanings.
I like Springsteen’s first 4.5 albums. Things started to go awry about halfway through The River. Since then, he is mostly really bad. He’s fake Americana for fake Americans.
"Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche, you know they rolled her in the night."
Sooooo tired of this pain in the a@@ constant fe- male nag.
The “concert” for obamaumao inaug... the “saviour of our nation” love fest he gave (total utter BS) with... the Card Carrying Communist... Pete Seeger. That did it for us— what a waste of opportunistic fakea@@ air.
Typical jersey shore jerkin pork.. jerk. A lifetime of it from his “free” asbury park “album”. If one wants a rock icon and have them be demonrats, at least make them Southern. Like the Allman Brothers Band (both Allmans from Nashville originally by way of Capricorn Records in Macon, GA- creator of several other legendary and highly talented performers and players).
Another way to look at this clownsteen is to see him trying to upstage Roy Orbison. didn’t work out well- Roy being a giant of a writer and performer. “Any thing you want— you got it!”.
I’m still glad he was arrested for DUI, even with the charges now dropped. Gave him a taste of what his hated enemy Trump went through with Mueller.
He’s doing political hack propaganda with Obama.
He is part of the junta.
Leftist pr**k
I’ve heard his version exactly once. I can’t believe anyone thought that screeching pile of dung was good enough to rewrite and re-record. The Manfred Mann version is far far better.
Can you guess I can’t stand Springsteen. He’s a lousy human and a worse entertainer.
Bruce Who????????
Bruce way good until’79. The River was the last thing worth listening to. Yeah, I know...but I thought Born in the USA was the beginning of Bruce being unlistenable. He became full of himself and tried to put out messages. He never go his Ashbury Park roots back.
At one time I would have read this story. Even after knowing what a democrap douche bag Bruce was I gave him a pass, one of very few artists I still enjoyed.
However .. .. ..... Events of the last few months involving Douche Springsteen have permanently put him in the circular file no matter what the topic.
He certainly got wrapped up like a douche
You are 100% correct about Springsteen & his borrowing heavily from Van the man. Morrison has mentioned it in some of his interviews.
Van is a musical genius, Bruce is a pop singer.
