You knew that this would happen.

Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town, Bruce Springsteen

Nebraska, Bruce Springsteen

This one is kind of gruesome. Or maybe ‘cold’ is a better word, here.

Rosalita (Come Out Tonight), Bruce Springsteen

Happy birthday, Bruce Springsteen!

I still like this live version the best. I wish I could connect with an audience like that, that effortlessly.

Thunder Road, Bruce Springsteen

Geez, Clarence Clemons died three years ago.

Johnny 99, Bruce Springsteen

Seriously, Nebraska is a hell of a lot less annoying an album once you force yourself to see it as folk.

No Surrender, Bruce Springsteen

…Thirty years since that version. More than half my life ago.

I’m On Fire, Bruce Springsteen

I suspect that there will be a theme involving warmth around here for a bit.

Yes.  Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am afraid that it is that time again.

Time for The Song. (more…)

Thunder Road, Bruce Springsteen

That’s the live version and the link is to the studio version, but… you gotta respect the crowd skills.  Well, you don’t actually have to, but… you should. I know just enough about how Bruce does this to know that I will, never be able to duplicate it.

Rosalita (Come Out Tonight), Bruce Springsteen

I seriously wish Bruce Springsteen would just write songs more like this, and less like he’s trying to be Arlo Guthrie or something.

No Surrender, Bruce Springsteen

…And, geez, I’m back to liking this version again.  Maybe it’s the time of the year that’s the trigger?

So, this morning I’m drinking my brunch in an Irish bar waiting for the rest of the family to finish up going to church…

IT WAS A GLORIOUS MOMENT OF PURE, CRYSTALLINE AWESOME, ACTUALLY.  THANKS FOR ASKING.

…anyway, so this comes up on the jukebox.

Shenandoah, Bruce Springsteen

And I think to myself, Yup.  That tears it.  Next time, go with the Ploughman’s Platter.

Well, that and Dammit, this bar needs Wi-fi so that I can watch that Lawrence Welk thing.
