Yes, but look what that poor soul has to look forward to...

Pico??? That dog? Woof.

Pico, and Me of course. Or is that Pico and ME?

now, now

Welcome, Brilliant.

Pico, you look lovely.

:facepalm:

Damm, Pico is smoking hot.

Thank you.

The dog's name was Indiana.

Sorry dude, I couldn't resist... :D

Cite.

I bet my cite can beat up your cite.

Did you sing with the New Christy Minstrels or The Brothers Four? Kingston Trio?:)

Btw, I loved all of those groups. Grew up listening to them. :thumb:

Yeah, sort of... still enjoy them too.
But my girls told their friends my picture was on the penny.

Ouch. How many of them believed it?

Yes. How come there aren't more pictures of... erm, never mind.

Full Disclosure
 

OK, apparently I did not mention how much I like Springsteen but I will now. A very little bit. Born to Run was a great album, after that I only liked a few of his songs. So, no concert for me. ;)

I actively dislike Springsteen. Song mostly about the same thing - urban teenage angst, horrible singing voice.

Wow...tough crowd here I'm starting to notice.

His early stuff had an undeniable vibe and was lyrically evocative, leading to my current user title.

"The Rising" contains about four notes, and I am against that sort of thing.

Your loss. ;)

In my opinion, then you haven't listened very closely.

While I too definitely like his older albums better, there were many other albums released between the early stuff and The Rising. However, I do think The Rising was still a good album.

Not liking Springsteen is not really what I meant about 'tough crowd'. To each their own is what I say regarding that matter.

"The music he plays may not be your favorite, but it has a lot of the same notes"

It takes a tough crowd to make a tender forum.

Why the quotes? And what kind of music do you like?

That's debatable.

The quotes because it is a quote of some local radio station, I forgot to add an attribution.

The second is a joke based on Purdue's slogan from the 70s or 80s

I don't know any of the newer Springsteen stuff, so I can't comment on it, but the old stuff is pretty good. Fun stuff. You have to sing along to things like Rosalita.

Pank Cadillac, too

yes, pank, not pink.

I think with any artist that has sustained the test of time for 35 or so years, will always have their best work from the earlier years.

Make no mistake, this is not a tender forum, but it is an honest one.

Pink Cadillac is a great song, as well as so many others.

yeah, but Bruce is still a tool.

Whatever. He'd probably think the same of you.:p:

Oh, Jim is an ex-tool.

I might come out of retirement to have a 'tool-off' with that little weiner though!

One of my issues is this: Born to Run was a huge seller. After BTR, his fans started to like his earlier stuff. Why? Was it good when it was originally released? Then why weren't Greetings from Asbury Park and The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle popular then? They were realeased at a time when FM radio was virtually free-format. Ed Sciaky played songs from his first two albums in 1973, when they were released, and they didn't make much of a splash. Two years later and his fans LOVED the first two albums.

Don't get me wrong, I think Bruce was an important artist, and a good, but not great song writer, but I just can't understand the zealous nature of his following.

Well, that's perfectly understandable. Haven't you ever learned of a band and then looking for more of their stuff, you discovered they had earlier music, so you listened to that too? Sometimes the earlier music is good, but you just didn't know about it, and sometimes it stinks.

Exactly.

I love J. Geils. Bruce Springsteen isn't the only artist I listen to, but he is my favorite. I like a ton of classic rock like AC/DC, Boston, Foreigner, Styx, Journey, The Pretenders, The Police, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis, The Eagles, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc etc etc. The list goes on and on.

hold up. WHY is zeppelin not on that list, young lady?

Some Zep too but not all. ;)

We most definitely come from the same generation. I feel like I was just transported back to 1980.

Yeah, but how does Pico feel about it?

Classic rock is when music was music.:thumb:

You know what freaks me out? The "oldies" station here used to be strictly 50's, then they moved to include 60's and 70's. But now they are classifying 80's as "oldies". Oldies?!! Was it really that long ago? I say no. Classic yes, but not oldies.:D

I was a Fleetwood Mac FREAK.

LOVED the Stevie!! Wanted to BE the Stevie.

MAAAAAAAAAC!

He sings right along with me...;)

Awwwwwwwwwww!

I loved Journey. I could sing every song on their Infinity album word for word and note for note.

Awwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooo!!!

Since that's the most hair this thread's seen in several pages, I dedicate this post to Pico.

Tha's a fact. I ran the battery in my brother's car flat, because he had an 8 track player in it and I could turn it up as loud as it would go. Rumours on an 8 track is more than a match for a mere car battery.

On a second note (nyuk nyuk nyuk), did I ever tell you about the cruise I took with Stevie Nicks? Yeah buddy. That was awesome.

Yeah, we need more 80's hair here.:D

Pico's honored. But he really likes the Monkees....

I am in LOVE

Did I put this up?

Power Mullet:

You were cute! And that sure is a mullet! :D

yeah, that's why I'm so cocky. Mentally, I still look like that.
