Bruce Springsteen

[TitoFan]

I know it's borderline sacrilegious, but never been a Springsteen fan. Never cared for the raspy voice, nor the music itself. I realize he sings a lot of patriotic songs and that's probably part of the reason he's so loved... but I'd probably never make an effort to see him in concert. That being said, I respect that he gives 100% at his concerts and looks exhausted by the time it's all over.

He was best at the local level. Patriotic songs are cheesy a times like Beans can get @walrus

Lyrics patriotic for whom, repubs or libs

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.AA

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said "son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "son, don't you understand"
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road

Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a long gone daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a cool rocking daddy in the U.S.A.

Call me crazy.... But if this were written at the time of Woodstock, he'd be a bonafied hippie styled liberal that the Reagans and Nixon's of the world would call his lyrics unAmerican and unpatriotic.

Doesn't matter. Just the repetitive "Born in the U.S.A." line brings crowds into a patriotic frenzy.

Pretentious cunt with tickets on himself.

Im amazed he crept into Roy Orbisons circle of friends,bet he wasn't rude to any of Roys roadies.
