Clarence Clemons kind of looks like a woman, doesn't he?

Springsteen and Obama embracing:

Check out the signature picture that ThunderRokie over at BTX in "The Political World" carries around with her of Obama and Springsteen.

Just scroll down the page of the threads I've supplied.

I don't do photobucket.

[BlueAngel]

Yep!

Springsteen single handedly helped to get Obama elected as the President and because of the songs he's been singing for the past 35 years, the American dream is still alive.

I think he's developed a cure for AIDS and cancer, too.

He'll be playing the Super Bowl and, that my friends, only goes to show how important and influential he is around the world.

I mean, everyone worships him, don't they?

Exposure, exposure and over-exposure.

Any reason for that, you think?

What will he play at the Super Bowl?

Born in the USA?

Seriously.

I have never read a factual account of a person who was to face a criminal charge, but, instead, was given the choice of serving time or being sent off to Vietnam to kill the yellow man.

Poor choice of words.

YELLOW MAN.

And, on another note.

The song was written eight years after America withdrew from Vietnam.

And, Reagan used it.

How ridiculous.

Like Reagan's people didn't read the lyrics and understand it's not patriotic and that Springsteen was depicted on the cover as urinating on the flag?

Give me a break.

Springsteen NEEDED attention and Reagan helped him out.

Obviously, creating controversy is the name of the game when you are in desperate need of recognition by the media because, otherwise, there might not be any.

As of late, it appears they've pulled every trick they have out of their hat.

They've saved it up.

They knew they had to.

I think they're running out of tricks.

[BlueAngel]

I mean, come on.

The only person available to open the inaugural free concert was Springsteen singing "The Rising."

A song about 911?

Another eight years late.

Just like Born in the USA.

How inappropriate can you get?

The song references:

"May their precious blood forever bind me;"

"May I feel your blood mix with mine."

Come on up for The Rising?

The Rising?

Asking people to come on up for The Rising when thousands died.

This obsession with blood seems to be a theme.

How bout' one of Springsteen's other songs wherein he's kissing someone and tastes the blood on her tongue.

Nice!

For my husband:

I love you, Joe
More than you'll ever know
you opened my eyes
when I couldn't see
you're like the warm, calm waters of the deep blue sea
embracing me
embracing me

To be continued.....

I was alone and frightened, but there you stood
straight and silent
in the face of all I knew
you swallowed my fears
helped me rise above
you're the moon, the stars and my only love

To be continued.....

When I feel prey
to the predators on BS.net
and the truth I believed were horrible lies
you held me close
never blinked an eye

when I believed
in an altered state
that I had a baby and cut it up
was sent away so I couldn't speak
you held me close and embraced me
like the warm, calm waters of the deep blue sea

you watched me weep while I lay in bed
for days and days and days on end
under my covers, hiding my head
reliving the torture of days gone past
And, as I went hungry, unable to eat
there you stood with two clay feet

you're my rock
you're my sun
you're my moon at night
you're my star
that's forever shining bright
you're like the earth and the dirt under my feet
you're the warm, calm waters of the deep blue sea
embracing me
embracing me

you give me oxygen when I can't breathe
you're my moon
you're my star
you're the wide open sea

you wrap me me up inside your arms
I feel safe, I feel love and I feel calm

you gave me eyes when I couldn't see
you held me tight when I couldn't be

you're my guiding light
you're my strength from within
you're my life, you're my heart
you know where I've been

you're like the deep, blue sea embracing me
the deep, blue sea and all it's warmth
you're a blanket
you're my hope
you're my lucky charm

you're like the deep, blue sea embracing me
embracing me...
embracing me...

[BlueAngel]

My husband said he thinks I went a little over the top, but appreciated the kind words; thought the poem was beautiful and only did what anyone else would have done.

He's a very modest man.

For my husband:

I love you, Joe
More than you'll ever know
you opened my eyes
when I couldn't see
you're like the warm, calm waters of the deep blue sea
embracing me
embracing me

To be continued.....

I was alone and frightened, but there you stood
straight and silent
in the face of all I knew
you swallowed my fears

you're the moon, the stars and my only love

Springsteen's romance

Bruce says his sixteenth album is about love

27 January 2009 - Veteran rocker Bruce Springsteen's new album, Working On A Dream, reached stores this week (26 January) and the man himself says a large part of it is centred around his relationship with wife Patti Scialfa.

It’s also built up some political resonance since the title track was first performed in Cleveland for Barack Obama’s 2008 US Presidential campaign.

Speaking to the BBC, he explained: “I guess it deals with love and mortality. There’s the song This Life and I guess the other one is Kingdom Of Days - those are songs that tackle love’s eternalness. "I’m gonna sing in a big voice that I’ve steered away from for a long time."
Bruce Springsteen

“Me and Patti have been together for 20 years. That’s a long time and it feels like nothing but it’s a lot of experience together.”

Springsteen went on to talk about one song in particular, Kingdom Of Days.

“It’s about time,” he said, “Because I’m old enough to worry about that a little bit. So, the whole first couple of verses is about how time is obliterated in the presence of somebody you love at certain moments, how there seems to be a transcendence of time, in love.”

Musical direction

Springsteen counted The Righteous Brothers and The Walker Brothers as influences for Working On A Dream.

He also said: “I love the big pop productions of the 60’s…I love those big romantic records and so I thought, ‘Well this is something I haven’t done’, and so when I turned there to write, it was sort of this little vein that had been untapped and was sitting there waiting.”

Describing the album, Springsteen added: “There’s romantic songs, big melodies and I’m gonna sing in a big voice that I’ve steered away from for a long time. I just want very orchestral, rock, pop pieces and that really became the motif for where I wanted to go.”

Brendan O'Brien, who has worked with the likes of Rage Against The Machine, Pearl Jam and played with Bob Dylan, produced the album.

It was recorded with the E Street Band during breaks in the group’s previous tour and Springsteen gave O’Brien full credit for his work.

“He [O’Brien] had a real idea about how to record the band powerfully, currently and true to the band’s identity, so there was enormous excitement,” said Springsteen. “That was a tremendous stimulation for me for one reason that writing through my 50’s has come very - I don’t like to say easily - but it’s been fruitful.

Hear more from Working On A Dream today (27 January) as it’s 6 Music’s Album Of The Day.

See IN BOLD above.

The CD was already produced when this interview took place so what is the deal with the quote that I've bolded above?

"I'm gonna sing..?

and, not

I sang...?

and why is this in quotations as if it is some sort of a prolific statement?

TAKE NOTE of the suggestive nature of the BOLDED quote by Springsteen and how this particular comment was chosen to be quoted so that his name could appear afterward.

Thank goodness two of the songs on Working on a Dream TACKLE love's eternalness because, I don't think one single person in the world would be able to make it through this life without the in depth explanations he offers the universe about difficult subject matters such as pedophilia and sexually deviant behavior as expressed in many of his songs/lyrics.

[BlueAngel]

Ta, ta.....

[BlueAngel]

When you want/need and are desperate for attention, you purposely create a situation that will assure the same, and, since you're a media darling, you get it.

So be it with the Wal-mart deal.

As if it didn't occur to them that releasing his greatest hits CD for sale at Wal-mart would go against everything this man supposedly represents to his fans.

Not that the rest of us care.

There was a feature article on Yahoo a few minutes ago about how the fans called him out on it and, you know, they were just so busy at the time they failed to remember about Wal-mart's poor business practices.

I'm not the only one feeling as if this exposure, exposure and over exposure is quite strange as evidenced on the following threads from BTX in "The Promised Land."

Talk about shoving him down every one's throats.

Sounds reminiscent of the year he appeared on the cover of News Week and Time Magazines.

On another note, the Super Bowl people didn't contact the Springsteen camp. It was the other way around.

Bruce Springsteen is born to sell at the Super Bowl - MarketWatch

This one is humorous:

Bruce Springsteen - NJ.com ... s_may.html

"So far, Bruce only offered this bizarre description of how he's going to perform the set:

"We want it to be a 12-minute party," he said. "The idea of the show is, you are going to the Meadowlands, you get lost on the way. You are watching your clock, 'Damn, the show is starting right now.' You stop at a bar to get some directions, and the bar gets held up while you are there. So that takes another 45 minutes to get out of there.

"You come back and you miss your exit on the turnpike, and you are driving to get back around. And so you make it into the stadium 2 hours and 48 minutes into the show -- that's what you are going to see: the last 12 minutes."

That made no sense to me. I have no idea what that means. Should we expect a bunch of gunmen to hold up the audience during the halftime show, followed by a barroom brawl?"

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

Have you noticed it's sacrilegious for the media to write anything negative about Springsteen without saying they're a fan, but....

What?

Is he GOD?

Oh, no.

I forgot.

He's "The Boss" and during his Super Bowl press conference, I heard he referred to himself as such about a half dozen times.

Another recent Yahoo article, Springsteen is considered the 2nd best old rocker.

Neil Young took first.

Oh, and Springsteen was crowned the "rock laureate" today by another writer.

The accolades just keep coming.

Wonder when he and Scialfa will be crowned America's Duke/Duchess and/or the Prince/Princess of rock pornography.

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

Imagine that. A negative without a positive.
