Max knows how to make sure the band knows when it is time to take off.

It's hard to play the glockenspiel on stage and look cool....

I like the Boss. This song, not so much. . .

I've seen Bruce at least six times and all were great concerts.
But the best were in the late seventies and early eighties when
this tune was one of the highlights.

Dittos, he's a once-working-class guy still working hard when he could just as easily be sitting it out. {#Cheers} Bruce!

You have no idea what you are talking about especially when saying in the context of Bruce Springsteen. The Boss has never lost touch with his roots, has never lost his energy, and his music remains timeless. Last year's Springsteen CD was as good and any album from his 3+ decade career. You don't last that long by "losing touch" with your roots or your fans. I'm just saying.

The first time I heard Bruce, a friend from New Jersey introduced me to him, I was blown away.
I am from the Rocky Mountains, but when I hear great music like Bruce's music , it doesn't
matter where you are from. I have been listening to him for 20 plus years and I still really like
him. I also think that he is going to be one of the great artists of this century. So to all those
people who don't like him each to his own, but I think you are really missing out.

Somewhere along the line it became uncool to like Bruce. I do acknowledge a regional quality to Bruce's music, i.e. people who grew up working-class in the mid-Atlantic region can relate to him like he's one of their relatives. However, I do think he's written some stuff that transcends "popular" music although definitely American in perspective. I think if he was only marginally popular he would be more appreciated. Of course, the radio over-play syndrome doesn't help either.


An astute observation indeed. Either way - should it be uncool to like the Boss - then I'll gladly turn in my cool credentials. {#Sunny}
As someone who has lived in New Jersey and Iowa - I can certainly attest to the validity of your comment. For some reason in Iowa - Bruce fans are as few and far between as Italian Hot Dogs. (Okay - maybe not that rare)...but honestly - I don't think Midwesterners can get past Springsteen's 'Born in the USA' era. In large part - his entire catalogue is dismissed because of that one record. It's a shame. Folks out here need a good dose of 'Nebraska.'

Clarence and Bruce "knee sliding across the stage" with grins as big as full moons. Amazed.
