Nah I just really don't like Bruce Springsteen and think it's mediocre garbage that people hail as amazing when it's the opposite?

Bruce Springsteen is transethnophobic white privilege music for people who think they have it tough in the west and also have no taste in music and their ears don't work properly

Bruce Springsteen told the most defining figure in American conservatism to gently caress off while both were at the height of their popularity, all leftist goons have ever done is talk a big revolutionary game while twiddling their thumbs about how big and scary and MEAN those republicans are.

Regardless of the validity of this statement, it does not affect the fact that his music sounds like the inside of a well-cancered dog anus

Lol you call telling someone to eff off political activism? How about John Lennon sleeping in for world peace, David Hasslehoff dancing on the Berlin Wall, the Spice Girls spreading the message of 'girl power' or pretty much anything Bono says or does.

says the man with the lady gaga avatar?

His radio hits are all very samey. He sorta developed a certain "sound" for the radio, and its what all of his hits sound like from Thunder Road straight through to Wrecking Ball.

HOWEVER

His non single tracks are all over the place musically. Jungleland is this fantastic sprawling epic of a song with a shiver inducing sax-solo. Darkness on the Edge of Town is one of the best songs ever written. The entirety of the Nebraska album. The entirety of Ghost of Tom Joad. both of those are really different from Human Touch/Tunnel of Love.

I will say he's far better with the E Street Band rather than without. And pre born in the usa is for sure better than post born in the usa. (With the exception of the song The Rising, which makes my hair stand on end and makes me tear up, but that may just be the context with which I first heard the song).

also, Tom Waits meets the Jersey Shore in an album I'm not quite sure what to make of:

The fact that Jukes are like 90% of Conans band is the best part of Conan.

I watched Live 8 pretty much all the way through and not just the music some of the Africa bits too increasing my awareness of child poverty.

e: also the other day a Greenpeace man stopped me in the street and I listened to all of his pitch and I would have donated if I wasn't broke myself but the thought was there

nope, songs like Born in the USA are more about the working class being abused and manipulated by the elites through things such as jingo patriotism.

The Reagan campaign used it for their campaign ad soundbites and had to be told by Springsteen to stop using his song.

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Got in a little hometown jam so they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "son don't you understand now"
Had a brother at Khe Sahn fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow of penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a long gone daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking daddy in the U.S.A.

Yeah, it's true. I'm more on the crazy talented end of the musical spectrum, and Bruce is pretty awful from this perspective as well.



When I hear him sing, I picture Bob Dylan trying mimic Christian Bales Batman.

tbh I wouldn't mind sharing something if i could offer a non-soundcard based recording, but I am waiting for my new sound interface to arrive in the post. Maybe then I'll give you something to ridicule!

I'm not even a Springsteen dick-rider like some but if you don't consider that a decent piece of song-writing I don't know what to tell ya. I think the fact that so goddamned many people missed the entire point of the song shows that it does have a little depth to it (also that people are loving stupid but that's a different argument)
