That song blew then and it blows now.

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

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

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.)

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....

Doodads are simply interesting lesser known items, pictures of which were posted in the namesake thread. Some of the doodads were memorabilia (i.e. souvenirs) which, upon reflection, were determined to be a potential security threat to the posters (e.g. like if you posted pictures of that stuff you brought back in your rucksack that customs didn't find)! The thread was inadvertently lost in an attempt to remove the unwanted items. It seems that significant disappointment over that loss has kept previous participants from reincarnating the thread.

Feel free to start another doodads thread if you like. I believe dwellars are currently more security conscious and that necessary changes can now be made without incident.

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.
