The man The voice The guitar
And I cursed my teachers for all of their reading
What we needed most can't be found in them books
Now they teach you to swim but they don't speak of the danger
Tell you the truth but they never say why
Put you on ice that is thin and tell you it's winter
Without one golden rule the truth is a lie

Hi Tina , I wrote in my second post "I realise to a huge amount of people ,Bruce Springsteen is the guy that can't sing ,screaming BORN IN THE USA at the top of his voice ,"before I read that you are not a big Bruce fan ,and I totally understand ......watch out....I may just send you some that you would love!!!!!!Tina3 wrote:Hello everyone,
This makes very interesting reading Alan.
and if I'm honest I'm not mad about Bruce either.Some of his songs are ok.
Tina
Alan you are so funny.I doubt you could do that apart from "The River" which I like but don't love not one Springsteen song impresses me that much.Sorry I know to many many fans he is amazing I'm just not one of them.alan1958 wrote:.watch out....I may just send you some that you would love!!!!!!
Alan, I must say you're absolutely right, and at the risk of offending someone here who may love "Diamonds" from this album, I can't stand it! It's sooooo NOT Chris Rea, and I always thought his throat was hurting when singing this song, from rushing too much through it, and on the video, his keyboardist even looks like Elton!!alan1958 wrote:......His obvious influences ,eg ;blues ,singer-songriters ,are mixed up with most probably record company pressure to be like the big sellers at the time eg;Dire Straits around '84, Producer Gus Dudgeon trying to make him sound like Elton John on Deltics........
Hi Tina, here's a picture of Chisel Hill for you:Tina3 wrote:Did Chris not say that "Chisel Hill" is about a place near his hometown of Middlesborough or am I being too simple in my understanding of these songs?.
I have a Bruce DVD free to a good home if anyone is interested!!! that's how uninterested I am in him.I got a Springsteen C.D/DVD last year as a present The Seeger Sessions recorded Live in Dublin so I went and bought (yes bought) a DVD of Bruce's Video Collection from 1978-2000 to see if I could get interested in him and no luck so this is now going free to a good home .alan1958 wrote:Tina , That's it ,the gloves are off ......I am going to make up a cd and send it to you ........and if you don't listen to it ,I will send the boys round
yes I would see this happening with Chris and the record company cause that is what was selling at the time.alan1958 wrote:f this is partly what he is referring to ---"Sound like this ..or "Put this instrument here ,coz that is what is selling"
