Springsteen wouldn’t live in a liberal town like Asbury Park though. He lives in Colts Neck. Rich area controlled by Republicans for years. He thinks he’s against the man.. but he’s really all in. He’s a fraud.
Let's not forget, dems had the house, the senate, and the majority in congress and did jack shite. If Orangealini can do what he is, they could have made sweeping changes for the betterment of humanity, and they knew it and CHOSE not to. The two parties work for capatalism, not people
Respectfully, I believe we belong to opposite ends of the same political tent (I’m not a fan of the real record of Obama or the admittedly slanderous fake concept of New Jersey), but I vibe with this image a lot, so here’s an unlikely but sincere cheers to your health.
I actually think of Asbury a lot (lovely place, been good to me) and its people as the perfect reference for “people I politically disagree with but love anyway and would totes leave alone in a civil society.”
That might be my favorite Springsteen album. Fabulous songs - For You is a favorite - and Growing Up and Mary Queen of Arkansas are not far behind. Incredible lyrics and melody with arrangements that just exude the energy of Bruce
Not on Asbury Park, but always makes me think of President Trump.
“Poor man wanna be rich
Rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied
'Til he rules everything”
- from Badlands
This morning in the shower I played: Badlands, Born in the U.S.A., Glory Days, and Rosalina (come out tonight). (And no, I didn’t sing along because my wife would kill me! 🤣)
Just a pro-tip, when you reach democracy you will learn what patriotism can be and how it’s very fascist, let me know if it’s too fast for you, because we’re in a hurry here and you guys are not there yet. Fraternals do it better but even they fail, but no patriots just citizens 😉 🇵🇹..nation.. LOL😂
Bruce is the real deal. One reason I'm an even bigger fan of him as a person than I am of his music is that he still comes back regularly to eat lunch at our little diner here in "My Hometown." Roberto's Diner in the Borough. Come by any time. No whitewashed windows, very few vacant stores.
No idea if this is your jam, but the choice of song to cover always gets me...even from 10+ years ago. Hopefully it isn't too weird to share. (Personally, I like the version from his first night performing it--it has that gritty sound that happens when you're taking a tune for a ride.) Hope it's ok.
Compare this picture to the one of Donald Trump giving the Medal of Freedom to that scumbag Rush Limbaugh and you'll know the difference between dignity and decency (Obama) and depravity (Donald Trump)!
Speak for yourself. He wasn't ready on the first album. He still thought the secret to Dylan's success was cramming as many syllables and weirdo words into a line as possible.
His radical left politics is that Americans should have access to affordable education, housing and healthcare. that's it. That's the radical agenda. Thank you for attending my teddtalk.
That’s kind of you, thanks - but I’m white and lucky enough that I can afford lawyers on speed dial.
There are an awful lot of people in NJ with very few resources who are living in constant fear right now *because they’re not white*. Trump’s America ☹️
I’m curious how we put a number on speed dial. Do you have a different phone than an iPhone? Can’t we all use Siri to ask her to call anybody in our contacts list?
Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Trump is a name dropper. Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Harvard. One assumes it makes him feel powerful & superior? LOL, he was a third rate real estate agent, a narcissist who has delusions of grandeur.
Hearing this record is like going back to the time when we believed that integrity and hope could change everything.
True patriotism never relies on shouting slogans, but on playing a gentle melody for the country with music, conscience and actions.
So many people think “Born in the USA” is a patriotic song honoring this country. Not even close. Bruce is a fantastic patriot: he criticizes honestly and asks everyone to do just a little bit more for each other.
Perfect. Also, can people actually name a kid rock song or isn’t he more famous for being famous? I’m sure kid rock has more than 50 Grammy noms, right? #theBoss #springsteen
Bruce is a legend. Great songwriter with hits like Thunder Road, Rosalita, 10th Avenue Freeze Out and more. The man's a lyrical genius. Doubt he's concerned over Trump's comments. Bruce's IQ is at least 60 points higher. The scary thing about Trump is the way he uses the law in a predatory manner.
#BornInTheUSA is a master work, I listened to a cassette of that album for the entire summer of 1984 as I drove a delivery van for an Italian food supplier in Massachusetts
Agree. Hubs worked in NYC for 24yrs. He was there for both attacks. He came home to us that night but I’ll never forget the families who lost loved ones that day.

Same goes for Obama, the most divisive president in decades.

By E Street Shuffle, he'd figured it out.
Yes I keep my Green Card in my pocket and have my immigration lawyer on speed dial ☹️

I was just giving you a hard time :)

The lyrics on this album are incredible. Every song.
