Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’d love to hear others thoughts. I am not a fan of the song “Springsteen” by Eric Church. I don’t see the song as being *about* Bruce at all. It just lists some of his songs and then he sings “Springsteen.” Ok. I tried to like it, but it does nothing for me.

This article is all over the place in terms of what it’s supposed to be (Bruce’s best? Most popular? Greatest hits? All different things!). Still, this is always a fun exercise. I would replace Dancing, Glory Days and I’m on Fire with Backstreets, Darkness and Racing in the Street. Any others?

I’m still mourning the Southside Johnny news and thinking of this trio - Springsteen, Southside and Little Steven - singing about the time when they were borderline homeless kids. “We had one coat between us and we never felt cold.” The world is better because those kids found each other.

Really good interview here with Edward Norton who plays Pete Seeger in the new Bob Dylan biopic. There’s a lot of good stuff in here about #springsteen, such as Norton stating that Bruce is the heir apparent to Seeger, and has taken up the flag of political engagement “way more than Dylan.”

What is your favorite officially released Bruce Springsteen video? Mine - Born to Run. I just love the montages of Bruce performances. If somebody said to me “you have 5 minutes to convince me that Bruce is good,” I would just show them this video. If that didn’t work, I’d know they’re hopeless.

#Springsteen Tidbits That rumble of thunder you hear at the beginning of Lost in the Flood was a “cheap effect” created in the studio by Steve Van Zandt, who literally punched the amplifier. It was Steve’s only contribution to the Greetings from Asbury Park album.

There are exceptions, but I’m not usually a big fan of covers of Springsteen songs. If it doesn’t improve on the original, I wonder “what’s the point?” Found this moody version of State Trooper by Queen Kwong and thought it was interesting enough to share. It’s different and kind of mesmerizing.

The misinterpretation: Born in the USA is a patriotic song The correction: It’s *not* a patriotic song. It’s a biting criticism of the U.S. Correcting the correction: it actually IS patriotic (and sometimes necessary) to criticize/question the country that you love in an effort to make it better

When it comes to #Springsteen Christmas songs, most people like Santa Claus is Coming to Town or Merry Christmas Baby. But for my money, the best Bruce holiday song is this version of Blue Christmas, performed live at the old Carousel building in Asbury Park. This song needs more love. 🎸🎷🎄

Is there any artist in history more inextricably linked to a specific geographic location than Bruce Springsteen and New Jersey? I mean culturally and musically, not just knowing that the Beatles are from Liverpool, for example.

#Springsteen tidbits… Bruce was the likely inspiration for the chilling scene in Taxi Driver where Robert DeNiro looks in the mirror and repeatedly asks the question, “You looking at me?” DeNiro had watched Bruce do this bit on stage just a few days before he ad-libbed this scene. #filmsky
