How old is Springsteen in this video?

He prefaces the song, "Thundercrack," with the comment that it's about his girlfriend in Jersey who is 16 years old.....!?!

According to a post in the thread above from Brucebase, the show was from 1974, which would have made Springsteen about 24 years old with a sixteen year old girlfriend.

I'm 18, live in NY. And I want to have a Bruce wedding, with Shall I Fall Behind as a wedding song . Most people my age don't even know who Bruce is, such a shame. I have seen 37 shows so far, met Bruce over 20 times, doing atleast 10 shows on this leg of the tour, I go somewhere new each tour, I have done Florida, Ohio, this tour I'll be going to LA for both shows, and I hope to do some more states also besides PA, NJ, CT, MA. I also like Neil Young, Clapton, Dylan, Petty, Pearl Jam, Social Distortion, Coldplay, Wyclef Jean, and some others, but there is no comparison to Bruce! Last year I left a job I had for a while to follow some of his tour (gotta keep my priorities straight ) I also love the beach, animals, and fast cars.

The BTX member above uses a signature picture of a YOUNG male with Springsteen.

I'm assuming from HIS signature picture this is a picture of himself and that he is a male.

He states that he has been to 37 Springsteen shows and has met Springsteen more than 20 times.

I will surmise from this information that since he is 18 years of age, he was younger than the age of 18 when he attended his first Springsteen show and younger than the age of 18 when he met Springsteen for the first time.

I wonder why he has met Springsteen more than 20 times.

Is he lying or is he speaking the truth?

If he is not lying, why has he met Springsteen more than 20 times?

Notice the title of the thread.

'Degrading' Lyrics Linked to Teen Sex

'Excerpt:

"They said that 64 percent of rap songs analyzed were sexually degrading, compared with 7 percent of country songs and 3 percent of pop songs."

I think they need to listen more closely to POP songs and include Rock 'n' Roll music in their study.

It's called BETA programming through repetition in lyics.

There's still no firm proof that raunchy music makes kids have sex, but a new study provides another suggestion that there's at least some kind of link between "degrading" songs and teenage sexual activity.

The findings indicate that "people who are exposed to certain messages in music are more likely to copy or emulate what they hear," said Dr. Brian A. Primack, a pediatrician and lead author of the study released Tuesday.

In other words, teens who hear about degrading sexual practices in their favorite songs might decide to try them out themselves. However, it's also possible that the reverse is true: Kids who have sex just happen to like raunchy music.

Expanding on previous research that linked sexually charged songs to sex itself, the researchers surveyed 711 Pittsburgh-area ninth-grade students in 2006 and 2007 about their sexuality activity and the songs they liked to listen to.

The researchers then determined how many of the 279 most popular songs in 2005 were "degrading" because they referred to sex that's "based only on physical characteristics" and features a "power differential" instead of being mutually consensual.

For example, "Wait (The Whisper Song)" by the rap group known as Ying Yang Twins was deemed degrading, apparently because it included a reference to rough intercourse.

By contrast, the lyrics of the rap song "Baby I'm Back" by Baby Bash, including the lines "I wanna be stronger than we've ever been/I'm here to cater to you," was said to be not degrading.

The researchers looked for links between the listening habits of the students and their sexual activity. Their findings are scheduled to be published in the April issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

After adjusting the statistics in their findings to account for the possible influence of such factors as race and age, the researchers found that youths who listened most to "degrading" songs were more than twice as likely to have had intercourse.

But the findings don't prove that the music caused kids to have sex, acknowledged Primack, who's an assistant professor of medicine and pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

"The opposite could be true -- that people who have more sex then go out and seek music with degrading sexual messages," he said.

Other researchers have linked music to sexual activity, but evidence of a direct cause-and-effect relationship remains elusive.

In the current study and an earlier one based on the same analysis of 279 songs from 2005, the researchers did not identify any degrading songs by title and disclosed lyrics from only a handful of them.

They said that 64 percent of rap songs analyzed were sexually degrading, compared with 7 percent of country songs and 3 percent of pop songs.

What to do? Laura Lindberg, senior research associate at the Guttmacher Institute in New York City, said that teens need to learn how to interpret and analyze the messages they see in the world around them.

But, "there's no silver bullet," she said. "If you get all teenagers to turn in their iPods, the teen pregnancy rate is not going to automatically decline."

Why does Henry Makow refer to Hillary Clinton as a "crooked lesbian?"

I'm just curious.

Not defending her, just wondering how he knows for a fact that she is a lesbian?

Did he read this somewhere or does he have first hand knowledge?

I was looking at a thread the other night authored by a very sick individual who is/was a member of this site and whose username was COLD/The Devil.

He referred to my DEAD CHIILD in this thread.

I have no DEAD CHILD.

Within this same thread, he also suggested that I get a drill.

Do you see where he was going with this?
