I also love Because the Night (he wrote it, Patti Smith sang it) ... one of my favorite songs ... did he ever get his version on an album? - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Paul Ivice Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2012 4:43 AM To: joni@smoe.org Subject: NJC Bruce Springsteen I am a fan of Springsteen, though I found Nebraska and The Ghost of Tom Joad hauntingly beautiful in parts but also somewhat difficult. In 1978, a co-worker at a suburban Chicago newspaper introduced me to Springsteen with the Born to Run album, saying he was the "future of rock and roll." Dave Fusaro was right. For me, Springsteen's pinnacle was Born to Run and Darkness On the Edge of Town, though Greetings From Asbury Park and The River were also very good. I was standing in line for coffee and a new Angus beef croissant at Dunkin' Donuts at 7:30 Monday morning and out of the overhead speaker came Stone Free by Jimi Hendrix, Oh Atlanta by Little Feat and The Promised Land by Sringsteen. I bounced out of there, despite my bandaged legs, with my coffee and breakfast sandwich in hand and singing along on the last few bars of The Promised Land. I was on a high note the rest of this week. I think it's hard for anyone to "get" Springsteen unless you've seen him live with the E Street Band and feel that energy, though now that Clarence is gone, it will never be the same. Paul Ivice For you, Les, I'll try. Lori On Mar 3, 2012 10:25 PM, "Les Irvin" wrote: > Bruce naysayers need to listen to "Nebraska" and "The Ghost of Tom > Joad"... I'm not a big Bruce fan either but those albums are stellar. > > On 3/3/2012 9:01 PM, Lindsay Moon wrote: > I don't get Bruce either and will plug my ears immediately when he > comes on.
