Springsteen, Part IV

[elevation2u]

i thought his sister's name was Pam
she was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High
and dated Sean Penn in the 80s

 

[phanan]

He's got two sisters, Ginny and Pam.

 

[martha]

Why did I think one was Mary?

 

[bono_212]

I've put this off long enough, here we go Human Touch

 

[corianderstem]

I don't like that album.




(although it might just need a chance or three to grow on me)

 

[bono_212]

Ok. Human Heart the song WAS good. The rest of the album.....I don't even realy remember. Maybe another listen WOULD help but I just don't feel motivated. WTF kind of ending was Pony Boy though. God that was awful. Aren't you supposed to end albums memorably?

 

[phanan]

Human Touch is probably his weakest album, but it does have a few nuggets on there. The title track alone is incredible.

 

[bono_212]

Last album of his that I have and have not listened to is Devil's and Dust. Trying to decide if I wanna listen now or space it out and wait a while

 

[corianderstem]

I think Devils and Dust is very good.



I know you're dying to hear my opinion about every album you mention.

 

[elevation2u]

Devils and Dust is very, very solid, I am quite fond of that album.

Between Lucky Town/Human Touch, there's maybe four good songs..I really don't care for those two albums

 

[phanan]

Now that I disagree with. Lucky Town is actually not all that bad of an album.

I've said it plenty of times before, but it bears repeating: if he had been a little more selective and chosen the best songs for one single album, it would have been very, very good.

 

[corianderstem]

I like a lot of Lucky Town, especially the title track. It's nothing earth-shattering, but that's okay.

 

[bono_212]

cori, I do like your opinion, I like everyone in this thread's opinion

As far as Lucky Town is concerned, I def. preferred the second side (of the tape )

I'm gonna wait til tomorrow to listen to Devil's and Dust, but I'm excited

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I never really listened to Devils and Dust all that much, but the few times I did I enjoyed it.

 

[elevation2u]

i've tried liking HT/LT, it just wasn't working..
Should I Fall Behind is great though

 

[phanan]

Take a listen to a song like Souls Of The Departed again.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Why did I think one was Mary?

he sees mary in the darkness on the rising... and he doesn't want her to weep on seeger sessions

i think he also got mary pregnant once... man that was all she wrote.

who is this mary?

perhaps she's bruce's version of bon jovi's tommy, who used to work on the docks, as you may know.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Take a listen to a song like Souls Of The Departed again.

Mary's dress also sways (or waves, depending), can't forget that one.

appears bruce is using more screens on the stadium leg than he's used in the past.

they've turned into boner and the youtoo's

 

[martha]

perhaps she's bruce's version of bon jovi's tommy, who used to work on the docks, as you may know.

I am proud to say: no, I don't know who the hell Bon Jovi's Tommy is.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I am proud to say: no, I don't know who the hell Bon Jovi's Tommy is.

That deserves a medal of honor.

One, I am sad to say, I will never get myself... Tommy and Gina are firmly entrenched in my brain.

 

[phanan]

perhaps she's bruce's version of bon jovi's tommy, who used to work on the docks, as you may know.

Or maybe she's Gina, who works the diner all day...

 

[corianderstem]

Mary also comes to Paul McCartney in times of trouble of speaks words of wisdom to him:

"Dump the gold digger."

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

so there's the answer.

bruce springsteen's mary is paul mccartney's mother.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I am proud to say: no, I don't know who the hell Bon Jovi's Tommy is.

good kid that tommy. been down on his luck though, ever since the union's been on strike. it's tough so tough.

 

[Aardvark747]

Saturday's gig in London is drawing ever closer, and i've finally recieved my ticket!

 

[phanan]

Have a blast.

 

[martha]

bruce springsteen's mary is paul mccartney's mother.

Stop.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Guys, Bruce Springsteen's Mary is obviously Mary Camden from TV's 7th Heaven:

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i always thought hillary was the queen of arkansas or was that illinois? or new york? so confusing
