After listening to Streets of Minneapolis, if, like me, you're curious about Springsteen's history of protest songs I found 16 Bruce Springsteen Protest Songs. That list leaves out Streets of Philadelphia, which is about the AIDS epidemic.
A living legend.
That's not true. They also have Ted Nugent.
Strange how he had so much in common with djt. Birds of a feather I suppose
They had Vanilla Ice perform at Trump's NYE party unironically
Really. Alright, that’s a win for them. So bad it’s actually funny.
Heads exploding trying to reconcile their understanding of Born in the USA to it's actual meaning
Weird oddity i just gotta say.
I went to a swap meet last year and ive been collecting CD's because music streaming is bad for everybody but the streaming company.
So i was walking with my father and i was telling him about the CD's i got one of which. Was bruce Springsteens Born in the USA album.
And this vendor i mean a fair bit away jumps in the conversation.
"I LOVE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, AWW MAN THAT ALBUM IS SUCH A GOOD ALUBUM" And i was kinda caught off guard and replied "Yeah ill take your word for it!" And continued walking.
It was such a weird thing, i mean like kudos to that guy for like to which i can say is a pretty good alum.
Reading this just made me remember this
the slop is exhausting.
What?
the thumbnail is ai-sloppaganda.
Its just tiring.
