I actually think that album is kind of awesome. Not so much that song.

You left out the part where you pay $80 to see the Boss.

He's so blue collar.

Why do you hate America?

Because it's the right thing to do.

Many moons ago, I worked at a record store with this kid that was a huge Springsteen fanatic. He used to always sneak a Boss disc into the player during his shift which pissed off the rest of the employees and often the customers.

One time he and I were standing behind the counter and "Born in the USA" started playing. A customer he was ringing up snickered, "Why are you guys listening to this crap? You work in a record store. You are not fucking coal miners."

My co-worker became very upset. I was in pain from laughing so hard.

Well, I kinda like it. I wasn't aware he was getting so close to ripping off other artists though.

All of Nebraska is great. I like Bruce Springsteen. Really, I do. I'm just sayin' - that particular song is Jenny (8675309) by Tommy Tutone. 'sall.
Yeah, what Mike said...listen to Nebraska, like now.

Just heard this for the first time this morning. "Radio Nowhere" was pretty bad, but "Girls" is indeed a really pretty, really wonderful song.

But I also think, without an ounce of shame, that Bruce Springsteen is fantastic.
