Took me some searching to find the context.  I thought you meant a different BO.  Not that it would make any difference.

This is a very good album.  If you were a fan back in the day and have never got around to picking up some of the stuff from the last decade or so, this is a good place to start.

Saw Springsteen in concert here in Detroit a couple of weeks ago. I can say that I've never been a great fan, but I have tremendous respect for him. At age 62, he still does a tremendous show, full of energy and surprises. I loved the way he pulled children out of the audience to have them sing or dance with him on stage. 

He's an amazing performer. 

A very good album.   Somewhat like Tunnel of Love in that the record just snuck up on us old Boss fans and now resonates.
 

A very fine piece of work from the Boss!

I don't think most people would agree with Theodore Roosevelt's views today.

I say we need someone like him right now.

I'm not a fan also; but love this whole album, it's beautiful!

I'm not a big Springsteen fan, but this song is really good.

True, but he's still slightly less creepy/scary than Limbaugh, Beck & Coulter.
(Nice tune by Bruce, btw.)

Bill O'Reilly needs to disappear from all forms of mass media immediately. No responsible news network would tolerate his yelling, verbal abuse and lecturing for even one incident. He is an awful, hateful, bigoted fool. He adds nothing to the news or discussion of it.

I never cared for the Bruce Springsteen music from the heyday of the E-Street period.  I always found his acoustic / folk work more appealing.  In the few interviews I've seen with him, it seems that it's the folk music that he seems to consider his "roots".  Pretty diverse guy, once you start looking at his whole catalog.

I think you pretty much nailed it. Well said.

Please don't feed the trolls. Glockman makes Excelsior seem positively social.

There isn't any question that Fox News is a joke.  O'Reilly is different, though.  Sure, he's an opinionated windbag, but his admission that Iraq was a mistake tells me that he's not a complete ideologue.  There is a special place in journalistic hell for Sean Hannity, though —- this guy is as intellectually dishonest as it gets.

What the hell, the Clinton News Network????? CNN is the only truely independent news on cable.
Forget the political commentators, they are a wast of time.  I just want the news, I will make up my
own mind, thank you very much and CNN does a very good job at that.  Fox news is a joke!!!!!!!  Bill
O'Reilly is an arrogant, self promoting, small minded loud mouth, a complete waste of time.  I don't
want the news people to tell me their opinions, I can think for myself thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BO is nothing more than an overbearing media whore who likes nothing more than to hear his own moronic thoughts.  How anyone, ANYONE, can stand behind this ass is beyond me. 

When he is wrong, he admits it.

When did he admit he was wrong about his statements about Shawn Hornbeck?  BO is a brainless, heartless creep.  If I were his mother, I'd watch my soul, cause BO would sell it in a heartbeat for another 15 mins of fame.

Some time in the late 70s Bruce stopped sounding like, well, Bruce, and he started sounding like a bad comp-lit course on American writers.

I'm not a big Springsteen fan, but this is all right and growing on me.

Does it remind anyone else of Ed Norton in the movie "The Illusionist"?

This stuff went out the window with Nixon. It's nice to know that we had a President who said thing like this at one time though, isn't it?

Here's what Bush 41 had to say about one of his son's escapades: “I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious of traitors.”

When you couple Teddy Roosevelt's thoughts with the words of Dubya's father, regarding the exposing of clandestine operations and agents, you can really see how bad these bastards are for the country, and how far we've slid in a short time.

Nice to hear something more stripped down coming from "The Boss"

"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."

Yah, I'm talking about the same chap. Did I necessarily agree with him? My statements were not an endorsement of his views, not a bit. Fact, I'm more in Springsteen's corner, truth be told. Your citing the poisonous likes of Ingraham and Coulter only further illustrates my points.

Refer to my original first paragraph. Let the news be the news. For editorials, I yearn for an insightful voice, whether I agree with it or not. These days, we get idiots of all partisanships-Hannity, Rhoads, et al.

Quoting: Interesting. Every time I hear "Gypsy Biker" on the local FM station, I say to myself, "Whoever mixed this mess oughta be shot!" It sounds like there might be a great track in there somewhere, but I can't hear it due to the sonic trainwreck coming out of my radio.

I heard "Radio Nowhere" today for the first time on the way home from work and it features the same sludgehammer sound. Again I was asking myself, "What the hell???" What a shame. What a mess.

The latest Rush CD was a sonic mess also. I don't know why these mixes are thought to be so good. Mush to me.
