What Did You Just Buy Tickets To?

I heard him playing in the distance at a Bonnaroo… I had no desire to go check him out.  I do not know who I picked instead, but I am sure it was the right decision. 

One of the absolute worst musical moments that I ever experienced was earlier in that fest - Bruce joining Phish on one of the two nights and they played together for a half hour; a half hour of Bruce stumbling all over Trey, and clashing guitar solos.  It was bad.  Phish were great the rest of that set and their other set, I should add. 

I would not go see him for free and some people shell out 100s of bucks…

I cant think of a single Bruce song that I have ever heard and liked.

Kiss from a rose?

this is a classic Bruce song I think you would like:


In a church by her face
he talks about the people going under

Only child know

A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
And through a fractal on a breaking wall
I see you my friend, and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip

But we're never gonna survive, unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless
We are a little crazy

Crazy are the people walking through my head
One of them's got a gun, to shoot the other one
And yet together they were friends at school
Ohh, get it, get it, get it, get it no no

meaning byLianboy
The right is: Amanda decides to along after seventeen years… See All
If all were there when we first took the pill
Then maybe, then maybe, then maybe, then maybe
Miracles will happen as we speak

But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little crazy
No no, never survive, unless we get a little bit

Oh, a little bit
Oh, a little bit

A man decides to go along after seventy years
Oh darlin'
In a sky full of people, only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
In a world full of people, only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy, crazy
In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly
Ain't that crazy
Oh babe, oh darlin'
In a world full of people there's only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy, isn't that crazy, isn't that crazy, isn't that crazy

But were never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy
No were never gonna to survive unless we are a little
But were never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy
No were never gonna to survive unless, we are a little, crazy
No no, never survive unless, we get a little bit

And then you see things
The size of which you've never known before

They'll break it

Someday, only child know

Them things
The size of which you've never known before

Someday, someway, someway, someway, someday, someday

Bruce is trash.

Why would you think it would upset me to post Seal lyrics?  I am not ashamed of what I like.  I like what I like.  I love Seal.  I dislike Bruce.

Bruce's only mistake was marrying that model… Seal would never do such a thing…

Bruce ended up getting a divorce.

It must be a 50 plus thing (liking Bruce).

Those lyrics are a masterpiece my friend… masterpiece….. Why would it upset you?

It does not bother me.  Why else would you post them other than you think it gets under my skin? 

You think mentioning Alice in Chains or Seal bothers me, for some reason.  It really does not. 

Sorry, but your trolling doesn't do anything for me, Anciano.

Definitely not trying to bother you dude…

Here is another great Bruce song… seriously..


Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hardup for cash
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash
To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan
For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Man

Tweeter was a boy scout course he went to Vietnam
And found out the hard way, nobody gives a damn
They knew that they found freedom just across the Jersey line
So they hopped into a stolen car, took Highway 99

And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man
Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill
She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill

It was out on Thunder Road, Tweeter at the wheel
They crashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and said "Everyone of you is a liar
If you don't surrender now, it's gonna go down to the wire"

And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

An ambulance rolled up, a State-Trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
Near the souvenir stand, by the old abandoned factory

Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit
He was taking the whole thing personal, he didn't care about the loot
Jan had told him many times, "It was you to me who taught
In Jersey anything's legal, as long as you don't get caught"

And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

Some place by Rahwey Prison they ran out of gas
The undercover cop had cornered them, said
"Boy, you didn't think this could last?"
Jan jumped out of bed, said, "There's someplace I gotta go"
She took the gun out of the drawer, said, "It's best that you don't know"

The undercover cop was found face down in a field
The Monkey Man was on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the Monkey Man, "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl
I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey Girl"

And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again
I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den
The TV set was blown up, every bit of it was gone
Ever since the nightly news showed that the Monkey Man was on

I guess I'll go to Florida to get myself some sun
There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Jan
Sometimes I don't think about nothing but the Monkey Man

And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

oh anciano! nice come back! ZINGG! feel the burn!

is 45 ancient these days?

The funny thing is I'm not a huge Brooce fan myself… but calling him "trash" seems a bit excessive… from the man who likes to listen to Bloody Anus…

I thought you were closer to 60, my bad.

It is just my opinion, formed through years of casual exposure to Bruce's music.  Why does it bother you that I do not like him?

its just very immature to refer to a musician like Bruce Springsteen as "trash".. also kind of lame considering a bunch of people on this thread are excitedly awaiting his concert…

And I care because?

well if you are an asshole you wouldn't care….

FWIW, I don't like him either.  He's kind of in that Bob Seger camp for me.

Also, I don't like scones or sushi.  Most other people seem to.  Don't understand that in any way.

Now, now, lets leave the Silver Bullet Band out of this people. Lets just remain calm and no one say anything they can't take back.
