I don't care what that unwashed bum says.

I heard the band REM play in October 1984. They took a pause and said, "I hope we have a new President next month." There was much booing and then silence. Finally someone said, "Shut up and play music."

Of course Mondale went down to defeat by a big margin a month later, so maybe this is a good sign.

Years ago I read an article about Bruce and the draft.
If I recall correctly, I think he was going to claim he was "gay" to dodge it or run to Canada but lucky for him, the war ended before his number came up.

I doubt that interview will ever see the light of day again.

This is coming from someone who adored that band all through high school [back when he was "nobody"], bought his albums, went to his concerts and even made several "pilgrimages" to Asbury Park.
I was a *big* fan.

After "The River", Bruce jumped the shark.
The 40-somethings here know what I mean.
