Rock stars, is there anything they don't know?

Springsteen should be more like Justin Bieber.

We're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little more now if we can and the rest next quarter.

"as he unveiled his latest studio album 'The Wrecking Ball'"The irony is lost on him, no doubt.

So the U.S. should have more beautiful blondes and more death metal bands?

Let me add this point....having spent six weeks in Denmark. First, nobody much moves around....wherever you were born, you stay. Gas runs $9 a gallon, so you really don’t drive much....nor are there that many accidents. Speed limits? Max is 65 around the interstate, and maybe high 50’s for regular two-lane road. Most folks try to live in their little village and shop there too....to avoid gas costs. Drugs? You don’t find anybody on any kind of significant drugs....so crime isn’t much of an issue, nor is violence. You don’t need guns....mostly because there is no threat from anyone much.
A guy could go up and stay a while....and start to feel it’s awful peaceful. But then, you start to look at your lifestyle and how most folks never get ahead. You barely take home 50 percent of your salary, and you won’t find anyone with expensive cars in your neighborhood....mostly because they can’t afford them. Everyone is accepting of this limited lifestyle....mostly because they got used to it. If you are a person who would like to move ahead in life....you’d best pack a bag, and sail off to the US, because your life will never amount to much.

Bruce Springsteen should be more like Jimmy Hendricks, or and other dead singer.

Anytime I need input from Springsteen, I just start up a Gene Vincent video on youtube and the urge goes away.
