This is not an advertisement. There's a link where it's streaming free all over the place, and Springsteen released all six tracks on YouTube, which I've linked above.

yes, that really is an excellent song. but again, if anyone goes and actually reads the lyrics, it's still a bit dark. i mean the message is basically that kids tend to be very excitable and are not nearly as smart as they think they are.

CW identifies Springsteen's #1 hit. :)

Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive

actual metronymic types would be Katy Perry, Reese Witherspoon or Vin Diesel, who used their mother's maiden names. Gene Simmons did too, prior to becoming Gene Simmons.

My own advice, for those wishing to calm down and realize time goes on in a metronymic way

are you sure you meant metronymic and not metronomic?

here's an example of metronymic, just to be clear...

We're going to make a couple of tweaks. I mean, we don't want to benefit Democrat governors - Fat Donny

Isn't it a little late in the game for tweaks? Oh, and BTW, fuck you North Carolina, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylania!

Deport the TDS chatbox troll! Or tell us how we’re wrong about the mocking you and offering absolutely no upside to anyone part. Stop allowing cho’mo to pollute Weigantia — we might see some Newbies down here! Stop fucking around already! *smh*

woo, great track.

as a content creator myself from time to time, my own bias is always going to be skewed toward the original artist/author, but sometimes a cover really does expand upon and surpass the original.

the thing about Bruce for me is that he's part of my childhood. I grew up in South Orange, and Greetings From Asbury Park was one of the very first albums someone gifted me on cassette. I must have listened to those songs a million times. it was an album with no weak link. it's kind-of amazing that he's had so much commercial success, given his lyrics tend to be very folky and somber. I guess most people just don't really listen, they just go with the groove, and that's what lands a song on the charts.

honestly though, my favorite Springsteen song of all time is Better Days. I think that track is unusual for its combination of self-awareness and optimism. the lyrics are dense and the music is interesting without being obtuse.

good point. As it is with CCR's "Fortunate Son" and The Guess Who's "American Woman," and even Styx's "Madame Blue"

I dunno, I always like Manfred Mann's versions of his songs, personally!

That part (if it comes) will come later. Johnson's gotta prove (for better or worse) whether the GOP master plan can even get through the House. if it can't, or if it can't get through the Senate, then what you speak of may come into play. We'll see... we'll see...
