That song blew then and it blows now.

Just work up a good thick hocker and grumble some shit. You too can be famous.

You poor folks are just jealous of his wealth, fame & groupies. :p

Monster, maybe it's just me, but this doesn't seem arrogant. It seems ironic, "cheering" for the U.S.A. while decrying its actions and present-day reality.

(FTR, was never a fan of the song either.)

Whaddaya mean YOU poor folks?

And yes, I am jealous.:cool: And poor.

classicman 02-15-2009 03:23 PM

Would that be we poor folk? I'm with you cap'n.
Gotta admit he does give hope that anyone can become famous and insanely rich.

capnhowdy 02-15-2009 03:41 PM

I've seen xoB's doodads ons the doodad thread. If he isn't rich he's got some killer ass doodads that look expensive to me. Maybe he's actually Jimmy Hoffa.

I miss the doodad thread.

Can you say doodad? I can. heeheehee....

I didn't include myself because I like Springsteen, especially the E street band.

capnhowdy 02-15-2009 07:26 PM

Great band. Powerful sound.
Maybe he has an accent that makes him hard to understand while he's in character. I always liked the T shirts w/ the star. What a star.

classicman 02-15-2009 07:40 PM

I love the E street band - I just don't like him so much.

footfootfoot 02-15-2009 08:54 PM

Born to run was a great album and for that I will forgive him his couple of extremely suckola songs.

But he is still on report

spudcon 02-15-2009 09:19 PM

If all else fails, inadvertently drop a whole package of ExLax in front of the offending sucker.

What's a doodad thread?

Clodfobble 02-16-2009 03:25 PM

A thread which no longer exists.

Pie 02-16-2009 03:40 PM

Why was it deleted?!
