Never like the guy, and detested him even more after this saga.
It’s a great song. The music plays one thing, he sings something else.
No. Silly song for a clown who cannot sing.
This faker sells out stadiums in Europe. They love him in Scandinavia. How crazy is this?
He always sounds constipated when he sings.
Darkness on the Edge of Town is a far superior album and everything he did after those two albums is just trash.
Years ago I heard he donated money anonymously in Asbury Park. Good on him. And he delivers a lot of live music for the price. Kudos.
That said…
Maybe it’s because I grew up outside of Philadelphia and his music was omnipresent, but I find zero redeeming value in his music, his lyrics, and the man as an American.
Now, Max Weinberg is an outstanding drummer. The late Clarence Clemons could play saxophone. They’re top notch.
But Springsteen is the pits.
Can't stand this song. I make it a point to avoid hearing it all Christmas season. Not too crazy about Springsteen in general. His voice always sounds like he's trying to pass a deuce. Never understood anyone liking "Born to Run," either, except people from New Jersey.
The music that spoke to a nation without saying anything of importance.
Exactly. And looks it.
Louis P. Masur sounds like a woman with all the references to himself. Pathetic.
Including the former fat governor whose goal in life is another donut . His Obozo hug may have cost the election
Yeah, well, Keith Moon drove an entire car into a pool. So there!
DESPAIR? WHERE? WHOM?!
I listened to his history courses from the teaching company.
Jeez Louise, nobody can even say anything online today without somebody sticking a shiv in his back.
The first time I ever heard of Springstine was when I saw him on the cover of Time magazine.
Harrrr, we be bloodthirsty buccaneers here.
The article itself doesn’t seem to have much to do with hope or despair. From what I can see there isn’t much political in it at all.
Seen him 3 times. Enjoyed it immensely.
To refresh my memory I just looked at the lyrics. As banal and adolescent as they struck me when it was first released.
So overrated. Mediocre voice. Can’t stand him.
