MIND CONTROL AND THE MUSIC INDUSTRY - Page 204

Really, Gman, you read the stories of each band member headin' down to Atlanta to record their parts for this album and it came together because MAGIC is what was required for that to happen.

Oh, what a bunch of baloney.

Where are the stories?

Can you post them for everyone else to read?

Geez, how hard is that?

They catch a plane.

Don't need to be together for some reason.

Must have a great sound mixer?

Oh, yes, that's MAGIC alright.

BlueAngel · #**2032** 08-18-2007, 11:16 PM

Yeah, Gman, morals. Some people like them. Springsteen doesn't.

Starbucks didn't like Devils and Dust because of the $250.00 up the ar*se.

Gee, aint' it a pity that some companies don't want to sell trash for the music mobsters.

What is wrong with you?

You seriously think Springsteen sets the ticket prices?

Get real.

They're talking about how they think HE'LL stick with this price and that price.

Oh, yeah. He has a pow wow with the promoters and Springsteen says, look, I wanna make sure my fans can afford this.

Half of you are talking about wiping out your bank accounts, going broke.

So, can you afford it?

Why do you think Springsteen is a a CASH COW for the music industry?

Because of you fools.

You don't attend one show. You attend, two, or three or four.

You travel!!

You follow!!

You're addicted!!

You're obsessed!!

You're infatuated!!

THEY HAVE TO MAKE BACK WHAT THEY'RE PAYING SPRINGSEEN PLUS A WHOLE LOT MORE.

THEY'RE NOT THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN NOT AFFORD.

They know you'll go anyway because you are faithful followers. SHEEPLE!

They set the ticket prices and they don't keep you in mind.

It's about THEM!

Blinded by the Light
Bruce Springsteen

Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the
ground
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin'
his hands
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his
lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers daddy's within earshot save the
buckshot turn up the band

And she was blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got up, she's gonna make it through the night.

Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
He says: "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they
expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone watchin' the
young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of
the feeling of romance

Yeah he was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
He got down but she never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight

Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
She said I'll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you play that song with
the funky break,
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to
go outside
And little Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a
ride,
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier
Yes and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent a dude with a calling card,
he said, do what you like, but don't do it here
Well I jumped up, turnedaround, spit in the air, fell on the ground
Asked him which was the way back home
He said take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then
boy, you're on your own

And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar
tune
Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar we're
gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon

And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some
mousetrap he bought last night,

Well I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw
a gap but figured he'd be all right

He was just blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun

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

Oh, yeah, this song makes a whole lot of sense!

If not for the music, right?

Anyway, blinded by the light is common in mind control victims.

Bright lights shining in their eyes whether on cold, steel tables being poked and proded or in a field on a military base.

Bright lights from helicopters shining on you and there isn't anywhere to run or anywhere to hide.

Someone on BTX commented to the JIBBERMAN, Freeman, are you the person who wrote Blinded by the Light? You should go crawl under a rock.

That's funny.

But, the fact of the matter is. There wasn't even a rock to crawl under.

The helicopter lights come. You're in the spotlight. I was trapped against a fence near some brush and a net is dropped down. Naked.

Trapped like a wild animal.

Grey Bull Lodge.

I dunno, RedRat, 41 views on this thread today and you seem to be the only agitated viewer.

Go figure!

Ticket prices:

In 2005 The Rolling Stones and McCartney came in round $160 - $170 average ticket price, The Eagles came in just around $140-$150, with another a few more artists in the $120 range, U2 came in at around $95 average, with Bruce around $82-$85 average.

Perhaps if tickets to Springsteen shows cost more, he wouldn't attract as many purchasers because they're not willing to pay a higher price to see him.

You also have to take into consideration that Springsteen performs more with and without the E Street Band than the aforementioned musicians.

It's not a rarity when Springsteen produces a CD and or a tour that follows.

A poster at BTX commented:

Live in Dublin is still on the number 6 or 8 position in the Netherlands depending on which chart you go to. With Magic being due in 6 weeks two top ten albums could very well be a possibility. Any other countries where this might happen?

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

Gee, I don't know, but I'm sure hoping so cause I'm very concerned as to Springsteen's sucesss.

When's he successful, it just makes my day.

BlueAngel · #**2038** 08-19-2007, 01:48 PM

It makes one poster laugh because (on the Promised Land forum) people have been going on and on and on since 2005 about a new ESB tour, and then when its announced, they say "I hope we're not the first night coz they always suck".

Town Called Heartbreak, Patti Scailfa video, very boring.

How would you know it was filmed in Springsteen's living room?

Been there, huh?

Oh, my and a snipet of Springsteen in the video, too!

Why couldn't you just say his name rather than referring to him as a certain someone?

Sounds like she needed to clear her throat and let loose.

Belt it out, but, she's not capable.

BlueAngel · #**2040** 08-19-2007, 07:17 PM

I guess if Springsteen plays on Scailfa's records and appears in her videos, it makes it all the more appealing for his fans to buy her product.

Like, I said, they can't give her CD's away.

They're offering a "collectible" lyric sheet for enticement to the first 400 purchasers of her CD.

As if the "collectible" lyric sheet is more sought after than the CD.
