Saw him twice on the 'Born To Run' tour and once on the 'Darkness' tour, and that was it - awesome, 4-hour performances, but I got what I needed. I don't think I've ever owned any of his albums, though. Got a lot of respect for him, just not my style that much. Good for him for selling his catalogue like that. David Bowie did that many years ago, too... I've got no problem with artists earning as much as they want.

@artemus_5 - whenever I hear somebody described as having 'saved rock and roll' or some such nonsense, I just laugh. Rock and roll was not waiting around for Broooooce or anybody else to save it. Didn't need saving.... |

@tgilb - Are you saying one shouldn't criticize anything that one cannot do better? That otherwise we should not have an opinion on it? I wish I could post photos from my computer files; I'd put one up that I took of Bruce and Clarence at a show in 1975 in Oakland... I'm not a Bruce-basher, not a big fan either. Born to Run was a great homage to the Phil Spector sound and had some awesome songs, as did 'Darkness', but I didn't follow him after that. Happy Holidays!! |
