All Springsteen, all the time
With the announcement that Bruce Springsteen is releasing a new album Oct. 2, we here at the Asbury Park Press are now at Defcon 4. Any rumor concerning The Boss will be run down and checked. If the past is prologue, we'll find out where he and the E Street Band are rehearsing, and I'll be sent to stand outside for hours and put my ear against an outside wall to listen to the muted tones of the new songs and the breathless adoration of those fans who show up to do the same thing without getting paid for it. Lucky me. I'm a big Springsteen fan, but even I don't relish that particular assignment.
By now, the Bruce Tramps have already heard that one early version of a song on the new "Magic'' album was performed during the Sessions tour in England last year. "Long Walk Home'' is one of those songs where Springsteen seamlessly melds the personal and political. But for those of you not up to speed yet, an audience recording of the tune is available by going to the Rolling Stone story at http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2007/08/16/bruce-springsteens-magic-exclusive-details-on-the-boss-new-e-street-band-lp/ and clicking on the appropriate link.

Don't you have any pull there at the Press to get inside the door?
Ha. Ha. Ha.
If I have to listen to anymore of his political songs i'm going to throwup.Please Mr. Riley put on Inna Gadda Da Vida one more time.
Yeah, and now it's okay to wash a baby goat in its mother's milk without fear of going to Hell -- unlike the way it used to be.
Bruce is probably rehearsing in his private studio somewhere on his 425 acre parcel in Colts Neck. I'm sure he managed to wedge a studio in out there, you know, between the motocross track and the private equestrian center built for the kids.Being a "working guy" is tough. He's just another limosine liberal.
I'm a liberal and I've never been in a limo, nor have any liberals I know. This crap about "limousine liberals" is just another piece conservative talking point nonsense that accomplishes only one thing -- it shows how easily conservatives can be led around by the nostrils by their media.
Of course, we all know that it's much better to be a godly, family-values conservative "working guy" who uses airport men's rooms for entertainment.
Nasty, bitter stuff again, Ray. But I guess anon 3:30pm had it coming, right? The generalizations about liberals and conservatives have got to go, as they are incorrect, and just cause more dissension among people.

Right. We'll just sit back and pretend that if we stop fighting, the world will become the New Eden and liberals and conservatives will join hands and ride off into the sunset togeth... hey, wait a minute! That's the kind of stuff that gets guys like Senator Craig in trouble in the first place! You're not gay, are you?
I am a very happy individual; thanks for asking.
He is a happy gay guy. Confirmed.
You need to get friendlier with Kelly-Jane Cotter who seems able to attend all Press Bruce events for free.
Not that there's anything WRONG with that.
To Ray.The truth hurts doesn't it buddy? Bruce,like Bon Jovi just wants to sell albums. They're capitalists. There I said it! Just like your other poster boy, Moore?
Oh and yeah, I'll stick to being a limited government, personal responsibility,free enterprise conservative.
There's an awful lot of anonymous out there.

I'm feeling pretty good. How's by you?
"Bruce,like Bon Jovi just wants to sell albums."
No problem here. What's your point?
"They're capitalists. There I said it!"
I'm happy for you.
"Just like your other poster boy, Moore?"
I'm sure you think you're making some kind of witty point but I see nothing here that relates to anything I've said. In fact, I've said nothing against making money or Capitalism, which, BTW, I believe is the best economic system we've yet devised.
You might do well to consider deep-sixing your rather silly assumption that anybody you don't like can be lumped into a convenient, easy-to-hate group and described with the talking point lingo provided by Fox News and instead try reading what people such as myself actually write.
Now I understand why some people post as 'anonymous'.

Then I guess you didn't vote for Dubya in the last two presidential elections. Right, buddy?
Mr. Riley , how do you rate Patty Scialfa (and/or her album?)
