Blogger says, "Shut up and sing the songs that made you famous." I'm fine with #Springsteen singing,"Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king." Or, "The criminal clown has stolen the throne, he steals what he can never own."

No more than anyone else's. "Due to the amount of personal data included in the records, they will typically remain closed until 115 years past the date of birth of the individual." You can get his basic records from the National Archives, though.

Link to the military record of Christopher Lee at the National Archives.

Cracking film. That poster confuses me, though. Will Forte looks nothing like that in the movie.

Reform: "What shall we do to show our finances aren't dodgy now?" Also Reform: "Take £36m from a man who pled guilty to violating money laundering protections and paid a $10m fine for "willfully” breaking the law with his BitMex platform, which was described as "a money laundering platform.”"

Headline saying Crypto billionaire Ben Delo says he wants to ensure Reform has a level playing field at the poll's.

To be fair, his dad worked at Freehold rug mill (he's always said his songs are about his dad), and this is the house he grew up in. There's worse places to grow up in, but it wasn't exactly affluent.

Isn't he already boycotting the BBC?

According to WaPo, he's paying Swedes to do it.

My two loved the Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde.

Book description for the Last Dragonslayer, which reads, "In the good old days, magic was powerful, unregulated by government, and even the largest spell could be woven without filling in magic release form B1-7g.

Then the magic started fading away. Powerful wizards who once controlled the weather now did home improvements, plumbing and wiring, drain unblocking and mole charming

I run Kazam, an employment agency for sorcerers. Work is drying up. Drain cleaner is cheaper than a spell, and even magic carpets are now reduced to pizza deliveries.

So it was a surprise when Kevin's visions started. Not only did they predict the death of the Last Dragon by a Dragonslayer, they also suggest that I might have something to do with it.

It was a something that comes one in twenty lifetimes and changes everything for the good - or bad. Something like ... A Big Magic.

The question was, Who was the Dragonslayer? and do they have what it takes to kill the Last Dragon?"

I was trying to remember the name of that song earlier, where he smiled and whispered lighter. AI said it was this 🤦‍♂️:

AI badly misquoting the Bruce Springsteen song American Land.

It gets funnier. She then tried to deny there was a vote about releasing the files. And got community noted for it.

My only concern is, that if the packaging keeps getting exponentially bigger, will Tracks 3 fit through my door?

Royal Mail injected some drama by sending an email saying it would arrive today, then one saying tomorrow, and another one saying today. But....

I know it is, because I know some people who were watching him in Prague on that date 🙂. But, if you look closely, there's a few giveaways. How is Bruce's guitar hanging without a strap? Guitar strings don't do that. Plus, AI isn't good with text - look at the name on the guitar headstock.

According to Brucespringsteen.it the track listing for Fire on the fingertips is as below. Those versions of Santa Ana, Bishop Danced, Seaside Bar Song and Zero and Blind Terry are on disk 1 of Tracks. Thundercrack is on Tracks, but it is studio version. E Ticket, I don't think so.

Didn't happen, unfortunately. Springsteen was in Prague on that day.

There's something weird about this as bots seem to be pushing it. Exactly the same text and same badly photoshopped image each time.

Badly photoshopped image of Taylor Swift, supposedly to make she performed with Bruce Springsteen.

What's going on with this? Same text and same badly photoshopped images on multiple postals about something that nldidnt happen. On FB and x as well.

Badly photoshopped images of Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift in a poor attempt to make it appear that they performed together.

Just noticed how many typos I posted. Thanks auto correct 🤦‍♂️ There was a 2003 release of Essential, and then an updated version in 2015 with the same front cover, but more songs 🙂

To be fair, who could have foreseen that telling the school bully he can keep the lunch money that he steals wouldn't deter him from stealing more?

Reminds of O'Neill being interrogated on Stargate
