    yeah i'm not a big fan of his either
    born to run is totally epic but when he started talking about "got a wife and kids in Baltimore jack" i realized it wasn't my music

    ugh springstreen
    never understood what everyone else felt
    must be some sort of “emperor’s clothes” thing
    to me more of a poor man’s john mellencamp or george thorogood

    I like Springsteen, but it's one of those things where I have to separate the art from the artist.
    I'd never actually spend money on his music or see a concert as I don't want to give that pompus ass a single cent of my money.

    I don't get thorogood either. I always though he was like a parody of real music.

    kind of impossible to hate springsteen when that first album just came out of nowhere and had great music
    from the title track to she's the one and backstreets it just had so much energy
    if i was asked my favorite song by him its this by far

    Saw Mellencamp with Willie Nelson and Dylan in 2009 at Fresno's AAA stadium. It was part of a minor league ballpark tour.

    Willie came on first and was very good. Mellencamp was next and he was outstanding. You could tell he loved what he was doing. Dylan was last and he was awful. Lyrics were intelligible (as usual), but what was frustrating was that you couldn't decipher what song he was playing. I get you don't want them to sound like the albums, but you should be able to tell what song they're playing. We left three quarters of the way through the show. It was that bad. Even one of my friends who worships Dylan thought he stunk.

    so last night i'm listening to Steely dan since i kind of always do and i'm playing this one song i loved from the day i heard it
    literally the drum line alone reduces me to a misty eyed...ok i literally cry listening to it which isn't entirely unusual w the Dan
    caves of altamira
    it was an alter ego of the spa at the lair and i have the blade sign hanging in my room
    took my eldest to see the Royal scam in its entirety w Larry Carlton on guitar
    literally left that show an emotional wreck and would have felt a complete douche if i had actually cared

    here's a bit of the story behind the caves in Spain as i'm sure some of you already know about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_of_Altamira
    anyway i'm watching the video when up pops the image

    [​IMG]
    fairly intense on its own since its likely 28k years old, but my ex had just presented it to me as a piece she wanted hung at the school because it reminded her of the children
    its stupid coincidence and means nothing except it means everything to me
    no prize or remarkable change other than a confirmation that i'm where i'm supposed to be
    i can't stop looking at the image and i'm still pretty much flattened for the experience
    probably took me an hour or more to make this post
    not sure quite how to express how crazy it feels right now
    L'Chaim

    Never had the privilege of seeing the Kinks, although I've seen Ray (twice) and Dave (once) solo. Shame they couldn't get along.

    bronski beat lol
    knew the guy singing was gay on first listen but it was good no one can really deny it so who gives a fuck?
    and yet picking up the album and looking at age of consent...nah
    if your human and not in denial smalltown boy hit you in the gut , at least it did me, cause i lived that shit
    i saw boys get their asses kicked in school and knew it wasn't right but didn't do anything about it either
    file under humans suck

    80's were definitely a case of life imitating art (music)
    or vice versa
    using your example of not sticking up for kids...
    a lot were afraid to publicly admit they liked bands like bronski beat, culture club, wham, etc
    and yet often the music was really good
    take it back even further, a lot of people scoffed at bowie and iggy so...

    changing topics a bit
    ever stumble upon 70's bands doing live 30 or so years later and sounding good, if not better?
    these vids are now all about 10 years old now

    like both of those bands
    PSB were dj's iirc
    cocteau twins have several songs that hit me on some kind of ethereal emotional level
    worked for Lynne when he was a Wilbury btw
    what would life be without music?
