We've moved.....

to Facebook.
But for those who can't get there during the day, I just posted my review of the new record. Here it is.......

drum roll please.......I know this is what you all have been waiting for. Here's my take after spinning this a few times and watching the DVD.


Outlaw Pete - people keep calling this "epic". If by epic they mean long then ok. Pete (Di Sturco that is) mentioned something about part of it sounding like Incident at some point. I don't hear that but really I get bored with this a drift away and I'm in another time zone by the time it's over.

My Lucky Day - while lyrically weak I like this one. A good rocker. I dig that.

Working on a Dream - Bruce Springsteen NEVER whistle on a record again. Ever. Like never. Didn't like this one when he was stumping and still don't care for it. It's the "Living in the Future" of this record. AKA a bathroom break.

Q of the S - you mean to tell me he played this for Steve and Steve didn't fall on the floor laughing? PLEASE NEVER PLAY THIS LIVE!

What Love Can Do - excellent straight forward rocker. We can't change the world but that's ok because my love will not let you down, so to speak.

This Life - it's that GITSC voice which I don't love. I know that "Girls" was really popular last time out with many folks but not me. Actually live the only time I really enjoyed it was in Giants Stadium. It seemed to fit there some how. I know I'm in the minority on that one but I'm ok out here on my own. This Life .. to fluffy for me. I'll pass on this one.

Good Eye - the bullet mic lives. I like it here. I liked it on Reason to Believe last time out. But I think after this i'm totally over it. He can retire the bullet mic now. Thank you.

Tomorrow Never Knows - the lead in to the country cross over record of his future. What's that thing called that you pull back and let it vibrate? Like a saw kinda thing? That's what I hear. I don't feel one way or the other about this song. It just is.

Life Itself - I liked this one from the first spin. Good guitar work that could really come to life in a live setting.

Kingdom of Days - for me this one is the highlight yet I don't like the sound of it if that makes any sense. Totally overlayed with junk it doesn't need. Watch the dvd - Roy plays his heart out on this song and frankly I can't hear him on the record. Lyrically beautiful - a loving tribute to one's better half at the best time of their lives. Not bad.

Surprise, Surprise - all I can think of is that dweeb from Andy Griffith or something. Well surprise surprise surprise. I know what the song is trying to be but this isn't the 60's and Bruce isn't the Byrds. It doesn't work for me.

The Last Carnival - what do you have to say about it? Listen to the song, watch the video .... if you aren't moved you're DEAD!

I will forego comment on the Bonus tracks other than to say I love them both but that's a whole other chapter and some times I just dont' get bonus tracks. The real album ends then a BIG pause and OH here's another thing. Whatever. Glad to have the tunes and btw Bruce got screwed out of an Oscar! Hahahahahaha

So...should I forward this on to JLM ?

Thoughts?

So for those who grabbed the songs and are listening ... got any thoughts? Are you having as tough a time as me wrapping your head around this? Clearly I need Ray to explain it to me.

Bruce Springsteen

kick's Clint Eastwood's ASS! Woo Hoo!

Hey Big Man.........

Happy 67th birthday! See ya on the road!

12 Minutes?

RS says Bruce is getting 12 minutes performance time.
Is that normal? Maybe it is but I surely think he should be given at least 30!
