Yes, he did not re-invent the wheel, did he. But I also like the song!  :)

Just checked out the dates and found that he plays in Cologne on Whitsunday, May 27th. Perfect occasion to go, isn't it? I seriously think about buying a ticket...

Over the past several years, I've learned a few things about Bruce Springsteen. At first, when he joined up with the E Street Band five years ago, he was wondering if there was anyone alive out there. I guess he figured out that there was, because he spent quite a long time afterwards working on a dream. Now that he's done with his dream, he's decided to settle down and take care of his own. Who says repetition isn't the mother of wisdom?

Lyrics are quite tricky and capable of being misunderstood - the same as with Born in the USA. Musically repetition seems to be his style for some time now. I like it nevertheless.

Agreed..this time around though I don't think all the politicos here will be stupid enough to step in the pile the way Reagan did. The song sounds very similar to "The Rising"...but I like it. Already pre-ordered "Wrecking Ball"

I am a bit confused with good old Bruce. Maybe it is the american way of thought, but I don't really see the relevance of his lyrics with his current financial status. Please take into account that I love both his music and lyrics as a unique combination that leads very close to what we refer as art (it is actually mass produced and sold art, and that makes much of the difference). But maybe this is not the place to discuss such things.

US tour dates are out. I don't think I'm going to make any shows this year. I've already seen Bruce & the E Street Band four times over the last few years and it's just not going to be the same without Clarence.

I'm a Bruce fan too

I remember when he went in my town homeSaint-Etienne in 85, in the legendary "stade Goeffroy Guichard".
My old brother wanted to see him, but my parents no....

Bruce gave all of his benefits from the gig to coal miners fellowship (Saint-Etienne was a coalmine town)

My english teacher used Born in the USA during lessons ! one of the most understood songs in rock history !

I've seen him in lYon in 93
a 3 hours concert, great memories
Bruce started the gig alone with his acoustic guitar for several songs
talking in french with the audience
and then, the whole band....woooow !

Bruce playing the star spangled banner ala Jimi, as intro for Born in the USA Nice !


I like his career from the beginning.
A great man, a great songwriter, a great showman, a great musician...well Bruce

Today I ordered my tix for The Boss' tour next year! Am super excited! Only discovered him a few months ago... The Rising has been playing in my car stereo for quite a while now. So, anybody else here into The Boss?

I'm going to see Bruce in Cologne 27 may 2012 for the first time ;D

Yeah, got Wrecking Ball for my wife's birthday...

Terrific production, a mix of old school gospel vibe with modern production beats - Im really enjoying it. There is a fair bit of Irish / Celtic instrumentation too - modern Knopfler fans would approve I'm sure. ;)

Its one of the best shows one can attend...

I saw him twice, once with the Seegers Band Sessions and it was spectacular, with the stage full of musicians and encouraging everyone to jump and dance on the stage, and other one with the E Street Band, and that was, really, impressive...

I'm still totally stunned... Sound was great, even a bit too silent at times as the aeroplanes flying over the stadium were clearly audible (damn nearby airport). But to keep that high qality over three and a half hours, rocking, smiling - that's just amazing. I can't think of any other artist who does that. And Bruce's fans are also very nice. Smiling, happy faces all around me. Perfect concert experience! (By the way, can't believe Bruce and MK are the same age...)

I'm always a bit ambivalent about Bruce. I saw a concert on the Seeger Sessions tour and absolutely loved it. I also saw him on the "Tom Joad" tour, which I enjoyed but was not overwhelmed. I've never seen him live with the E-Street Band, though I thought "The Wild, The Innocent & the E Street Shuffle" was a pretty damn good album. My favourite Springsteen album, however, is probably "Nebraska"

"The Wild & Innocent..." is amazing! Such great songs and arrangements.

I bought 'Darkness On The Edge Of Town' on Bluray, it's really only interesting if your a die hard fan OR a muso interested in the studio process, great footage of that. A young Jimmy Iovine as the engineer/budding producer...

Glad you enjoyed the concerts GH, love me some live 75-85 Bruce boxset!!! :)
