Re: Springsteen
If this don't strike a chord, you've never been nowhere worth being:
Got out of prison back in '86 and I found a wife
Walked the clean and narrowJust tryin' to stay out and stay alive
Got a job at the rendering plant, it ain't gonna make me rich
In the darkness before dinner comes
Sometimes I can feel the itch
I got a cold mind to go tripping across that thin line
I'm sick of doin' straight time
My uncle's at the evenin' table, makes his living runnin' hot cars
Slips me a hundred dollar bill says
"Charlie you best remember who your friends are.
"Got a cold mind to go trippin' 'cross that thin line
I ain't makin' straight time
Eight years in it feels like you're gonna die
**But you get used to anything
Sooner or later it just becomes your life**
Kitchen floor in the evening tossin' my little babies high
Mary's smiling but she's watching me out of the corner of her eye
Seems you can't get any more than half free
I step out onto the front porch and suck the cold air deep inside of me
Got a cold mind to go trippin' 'cross that thin line
I'm sick of doin' straight time
In the basement huntin' gun and a hacksaw
Sip a beer and thirteen inches of barrel drop to the floor
Come home in the evening, can't get the smell from my hands
Lay my head down on the pillow
And go driftin' off into foreign lands

Hey...let's quit with this Springsteen crap. I thought we'd all pretty much agreed to not disagree on his inherent shittyness. We owe it to ourselves to stand by our convictions.

I think we can all agree that yes, even Mr. Money is better than Wilco.
WOW does that band SUUUUUUK! Do they exist to put us to sleep?...bore us to death? ...influence us to scratch our temples with a Dremel? ...eat mild cheddar cheese?
I KNOW that no one enjoys this band...any alternative would imply the suspension of physical laws governing the entire known universe. Somewhere, Jesus is hating this band.

you know, when you go into a music store, they have all these choices,
i guess people like different things so there is no right or wrong like in mathematics,
they even have a name for it, it is called subjective.
now if you wanna jones somebody out on a band, they have a name for that also.
hint:it rhymes with bassole.

Sounds like Dr Sprock likes Wilco
I gave it a listen... do they have friends on the inside? How does one climb to prominence, in a sea filled with so many amazing musicians, with a pretty average sounding folk guitar getup that could be found at any high school or community college? Well maybe not any high school. It's not bad at all, but nothing that rings out as "nationally popular" type material from my perspective.
I'm not a hater, just surprised about what gets famous and what doesn't. I'd heard the name Wilco before but never listened to the music until just now.

I used to find many of the British pop bands pretty annoying: Oasis, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, and a bunch of others I can't be bothered to try to remember. Mind you, Eddie Money is a pretty low standard to be worse than, so it's a judgement call.
Wilco down there with E.M.? C'mon! That's ridiculous. Here's an old chestnut, performed not too long ago:

Ok...add Maroon 5 to this list...unless someone already has. Well...maybe just keep both references since they doubly suck.

Oh DAMN that ESS looks TASTY! Unfortunately all I have around right now is pumpkin banana bread.
Ok so what...sometimes respect for an ESS demands flexibility.

In high school back in Kansas the local Ramada Inn had house band that played in the penthouse bar. Their name says it all: Poppin Fresh...they did cover tunes by bands like Air Supply. Probablyshould add Air Supply to the list also.
