Not that I know of. It smokes.

Agreed. It's my second favorite so far.

 

[phanan]

they're on this page for me. you must be one of those losers who views like 10 posts per page or something

It's actually the last page, now that I see it.

And I never bothered changing my settings. Not exactly a priority, so

Agreed. It's my second favorite so far.

And you're coming up on the final two. The first one, an unheralded gem, and the last, well, there are no words.

30 posts per page ftw

(if i could view more per page without manually changing the url each time, i would.)

Yeah, Meeting Across The River is sublime. I'm almost glad that it doesn't build.

Fuck Adam Eaton.

Bases loaded, one out, 4th inning, Phils up a run. Randy Johnson comes up, a fucking pitcher. So, what does Eaton do? He fucking walks the pitcher on four pitches. WITH THE BASES LOADED, HE DID NOT THROW A SINGLE STRIKE TO THE FUCKING PITCHER. Naturally, after an RBI ground out, Stephen Drew hit a 3-run homer, and the Phightin's are down 6-2.

It transitions perfectly into Jungleland. I've been fortunate enough to see him perform the two back to back in concert, which is a rarity.

Well, we know what pfan's been up to now.

So, interesting thread to catch up on. I get the feeling I better dig out that Springsteen CD.

You actually had some reading to do this time.

Watched the game and talked Phillies for a half hour with my dad. We need to trade Howard since people still think he can be good. This is our last chance. That's the conclusion we came to.

Why are you busy watching the team with the most losses in MLB history when you spend your time talking about how great Born To Run is?














Don't answer that. I spend my Sundays watching the Redskins.

DO IT.

Not quite as much as yesterday, though.

These threads have been going well.

Daniel Snyder, LeMel. Daniel Snyder.

Jungleland is like 85 years long. I trust this will be nothing if not epic.

 

[phillyfan26]

So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

Best part of the song IMO.

Agreed.

It's a lyrical masterpiece all the way through.

Backstreets

My second favorite Springsteen song, behind Jungleland.

 

[phanan]

Jungleland is like 85 years long. I trust this will be nothing if not epic.

It's long in length, but goes by very quickly.

One of the best sax solos of all time.

i can sympathize with him; i'm an orioles fan

Somehow, that just doesn't sound quite right.

 

[phillyfan26]

Jungleland's lyrics are just insanely good, too.

 

[phillyfan26]

Made sense to me.

Technically, I guess the ideal was "It's long on paper, but it goes by very quickly."

 

[LemonMelon]

Listening to this, I can really hear the massive influence Springsteen has had on so many artists I listen to. It's surreal.

 

[LemonMelon]

Jungleland's lyrics are just insanely good, too.

The midnight gang's assembled and picked a rendezvous for the night
They'll meet 'neath that giant Exxon sign that brings this fair city light

The sax solo is hot too.

 

[phanan]

Born To Run is actually a loose concept album, if you think about it. A tale of young love and restless hearts, taking place over the course of a single day, with Thunder Road starting at daybreak, and Jungleland going deep into the night.

At one point, Springsteen considered starting and ending the album with Thunder Road (he had an acoustic version to start, and the full band version to end). That would have been interesting. The acoustic version is even better.

 

[phillyfan26]

Do you mean the style in which he opened Hammersmith with?

 

[LemonMelon]

Who gets the major credit for producing this album? It sounds insanely good.

 

[phanan]

Do you mean the style in which he opened Hammersmith with?

Yep. There's a studio version of it that's awesome. I don't have time now, but if you wish, I could set you up with it at some point.
