No rock star can match Springsteen's overall career
By Jim Harrington
STAFF WRITER
Bruce Springsteen goes by the nickname "The Boss." There may come a day, however, when he's generally known by another moniker:
"The Best."
[SNIP]
ONLINE: What do you think? Is Bruce Springsteen the best rock star ever? Join the discussion at ContraCostaTimes.com.
Dear God, I love Bruce, but this is crazy talk. Malign "Steel Wheels" and "Bridges to Babylon" all you want, but there's simply no sane argument that can be made that Bruce's post-"Tunnel of Love" output is in any way superior to that of the Stones post-"Some Girls" -- let alone that Bruce has in any way reached the high water mark of the Beatles and Dylan.
Critics had all but written Bruce off after the Human Touch/Lucky Town debacle and the long (virtual) silence that followed (pace "The Ghost of Tom Joad"). Add to that the wildly overpraised "Rising" and "Magic" -- fine albums, but neither a "return to the masterpiece business," to quote EW's all-wet Chris Willman.
Again, I adore Bruce, but these critics need to change their shorts, have a coffee and catch their breath. |

Looks like Pammy & I had identical seats! And Gazza, I swear that we didn't specify "ass view" when we went on Ticketmaster.
Come to think of it, maybe Pam did.
'maybe' is right!
PS - like the footer quote..LOL |

Let me know if you ever get your Fan Club DVD and I'll change my footer quote. I predict that quote will be there for a good long time.... |

It sure looks that way, huh?
And not to fret, partner...my seat tonight is just one section over. You are correct! I specifically requested that area...LOTS of ass (and package checking) for my viewing pleasure 
And why is Gazza so nervous over us talking "ass"?
So, if you'll excuse me, I have an executive meeting with the Boss shortly - gotta run!
(Meg - I got your text, LMAO - catch up with you tomorrow!) |

I did get the tics in row 8 for the Pitt show. As of now I have two extra. If anyone is interested please let me know. Face value, ticket bastard charges, and a beer for both. |

Meh, 'cept maybe Pittsburgh or Fenway.
If you decide to come to Pitt, I know a great place near by to meet for dinner, although its not a little cafe down San Diego way, where they play guitars all night all night and all day. |

i think they stopped coming when ronnie joined - pics and footage from 72 show that they were there (greenfield mentions it too) - maybe they were around a bit too in 75 - but after that they are hard if not impossible (because they're not there) to see
a new game - pics of stones crowds - spot the black people!! |
