MIND CONTROL AND THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

[BlueAngel]

If Springsteen will be playing sheds/ampitheatres during next summer's tour, I don't really think a long-winded explanation is necessary; blah, blah, blah.

The answer would be that his drawing power is not what it use to be.

"Expandable audience?"

He could sell lawn seats if the ticket sales increase over and above the "sheds" seating capacity.

This sounds realistic.

I think the days of 50,000/60,000 are OVER.

He wasn't filling the 6,000 indoor theatre seats during his solo "Devils and Dust" tour.

Not sure, but I would think "The Seeger Sessions Band" tour would fall into the same category as the "Devils and Dust" solo tour.

THE ESB just toured in 99, 2003 and I'm sure they were re-circulating in between.

It's not like they've been on hiatus.

It's not like Springsteen hasn't been touring solo and with other bands; appearing here, there and everywhere.

It's not like his wife isn't releasing a CD in a few months.

It's almost like an overdose.

Yep! Springsteen. The "blue collar" poster boy.

Everything he does artistically is for the "average American." The working class.

It has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with managing his music career/finances.

For those in make-believe land, he's role playing. The MAKING OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN...

Stay tuned....

Hotel California
Eagles

On a dark desert highway,
Cool wind in my hair,
Warm smell of "colitas"
Rising up through the air,
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light,
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,
I had to stop for the night.

There she stood in the doorway,
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinkin' to myself :
"This could be heaven and this could be hell"
Then she lit up a candle,
And she showed me the way,
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California,
Such a lovely place, (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California,
Any time of year, (Any time of year) You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
She got the Mercedes Benz,
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard,
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain
"Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here
Since nineteen sixty-nine"
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say:

Welcome to the Hotel California,
Such a lovely place, (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California,
What a nice surprise, (What a nice surprise) Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice, and she said:
"We are all just prisoners here,
Of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast,
They stabbed it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last think I remember,
I was running for the door,
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before,
"Relax," said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive,
You can check out anytime you like...but you can never leave"

--------------------------------------------

What is this song about?

They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast...

We are all just prisoners here of our own device....

I remember when this was one of the first songs posted on Springsteen's offical site.

I thought to myself, "you'll find out soon enough that I'm not a prisoner here of my own device or otherwise."

Title: long time comin'


Where the creek runs shallow and sandy
The moon swoops over the stars
______ straight into my arms
I'm going to get birth naked and bury my old soul
And dance on it's grave
Dance on his grave

It's a long time comin'
A long time comin' my dear
But now it's here

My daddy was a stranger
Lived in a hotel downtown
When I was a kid
He was just somebody I'd see around
Somebody I'd see around

It's a long time comin'
A long time comin' my dear
But now it's here

Down below and pulling on my shirt
I got some kids of my own
But if I had one wish kids
That your mistakes would be your own
Your sins would be your own

It's a long time comin'
A long time comin' my dear
But now it's here

I am laying under the arms of Cassiopeia
The sword of Orion sweeps
It's me and you Rosie
Crackling like crossed wires
I listen to you breathing in your sleep

The sparks of the fire are left burning
Lie 2 kids in sleeping bags
I reach under your shirt and feel your belly
There's another one kicking inside
I promise I ain't going to fuck it up this time

-------------------------------------------------


Following are excerpts from an interview with Springsteen by Esquire's Cal Fussman:

Sprinsteen says:

I wrote this next song (Long Time Coming) about chances. Your kids kind of bring that with 'em. It's not that simple, though. The first five to seven years, you're kind of like the benevolent hand of God. The next five, six, or seven, you're an absurd and silly man. You fall into the tolerable-idiot category. That's all right. You get into that old thing about how you're not going to make the same mistakes your parents made. That's sort of how you honor them. You try to take the best and leave the rest. But, of course, you do. You end up with seemingly absurd situations. I had an argument with my son, and ten minutes later I hear coming out of his room [loud, angry guitar sounds]: Bmmmmmummmamummamummamumma. It goes on.

With that thought in mind, I wrote this song, set it out west. Little bit of that rebirth of spirit that the kids bring. So . . . "A Long Time Comin'."


Well, if I had one wish
In this godforsaken world
Kids, it'd be that
Your mistakes would be your own . . .
Your sins would be your own . . .

-----------------------------------------------

This song has one verse, as above, depicting the theme Springsteen attributes to it.

One verse!

So, what's with the rest of the lyrics within the song?

Just filler!

He's talking to Rosalita again (Rosie). Telling her he's not going to eff it up this time.

Remember, how he yells out in the song, "Rosalita," that he's coming to confiscate her, liberate her; he wants to be her man and that he just signed with a record company.

Who is Rosalita?

Not only did he get Mary pregnant, but apparently in this song Rosie is pregnant and he's not going to eff it up this time.

Like I said before, is he talking about having effed it up when he got Mary pregnant?

Apparently, he has two other children. One with Mary and one with Rosie and we don't know whom the mothers are.

And what's the deal with the verse:

"It's been a long time comin'
but now it's here..."

What's been a long time coming?

And

What is finally here?

More psychobabble from Springsteen in an attempt to explain his lyrics. You know, it's just so deep with him. Either that or after he or whomever wrote this song looked at it, they didn't know where it came from.

Am I Lucifer? it is you, who have decieved the world. Right now LUCIFER is in your mind....

I don't know what you are and I don't care.

I have deceived no one, but Springsteen certainly has.

Lucifer does not exist in my world.

You of "all people" should know that.

[BlueAngel]

Hey, RedRat,

Does Bruce Springsteen know you're here claiming to be him and my TORMENTOR?

Or, are you Brucie?

[redrat11]

NO! I am myself..........
