Springsteen torture at Camp X-Ray
01Mar04
A TERROR suspect freed from Guantanamo Bay has told of cruel and unusual punishment.
Hamed Abderrahman Ahmad, a Spaniard who denies any links with terrorism, said he had to wrap his head in a damp towel to try to muffle loud tapes of Born in the USA.
Mr Ahmad said he was confined to a small cell where the lights were always on and he was forced to listen endlessly to Bruce Springsteen.
"First I spent a month in a cell two metres square that had a roof of sheet iron, with unbearable heat," he said.
"All day they blared patriotic American music. It was Born in the USA. We had to put wet towels on our heads to be able to bear the heat and not hear the music . . .
"Later they put us in even smaller cells."

Think it's hot in Guantanamo, Hamed?
Wait till you arrive at Mohammad's paradise to collect your 70 black-eyed virgins.

And, without looking it up, who was the bass player in the fictional band, Otis Day and the Knights?

...one of the funniest scenes in movie history! Come to think of it, there were several scenes in that movie that you can say the same think about.

Of course, Springsteen's original manager wrote songs for the Partridge Family.

If the Boss doesn't do it, might I make a suggestion...
Helen Reddy.
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
