Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

Just finished Greetings. Liked it overall, I can immediately see why my favorites get these comparisons. Mary Queen of Arkansas and Spirit int he Night were the standout tracks for me, though all were good. Just started The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle. I'm trying to come up with the words for how this one starts. Not what I was expecting at all (not a bad thing)!

Yeah, Springsteen is a journey worth taking for any music fan, Spirit in the Night is such a great song. It sounds like nostalgia feels. It’s like you were riding shotgun the entire night. My favorite Springsteen Albums are Darkness On The Edge Of Town and Nebraska but really it’s all amazing up through Tunnel Of Love. Then things get a bit less consistent. Also, he wrote/contributed to lots of other artists. Springsteen sings backup on Lou Reed’s Street Hassle and he wrote Patty Smyth’s Because The Night (later covered by Natalie Merchant’s 10,000 Maniacs) and The Pointer Sisters’ Fire. Springsteen is a fun rabbit hole to delve into. Enjoy the ride.

I love Greetings and The Wild. They are both SOOOO different than the Bruce most people know. Some of my faves: For You, NY Serenade, Rosalita (because it is one of the most fun songs live).

I'm listening to NY Serenade as I type this, just got to the part where the tempo picks up. So good! This album has been a blast. I feel like the whole thing would be an outstanding live experience. Tons going on in every song, I think this one's going to need multiple listens in the near future just to take everything in.

He doesn't play a ton of The Wild live anymore. Well, Rosalita is a staple at nearly every show. During the encore. With every single damn person in the crowd singing every word and dancing like the drunken fools that they are. But the rest of the album, he doesn't play that much. There was a tour recently (@David A. - help me out - which tour?) in which he was taking requests. People would write their requests on poster board and at a certain point in the show, he'd ask for the requests, grab them out of the crowd and then pick a few to play. I saw NY Serenade and Kitty's Back because of requests on that tour.

It is my fave Bruce album for a reason though. I love all of the piano. Speaking of piano - Jungleland on Born to Run is a damn masterpiece from Mr. Roy Bittan (the piano player aka the professor).
 
Face (demodex) mites don't poop. They have no anuses. They store the poop in their bodies till they die.

Also, most people have them. So, next time you have the chance, thank a demodex for not shitting on you.
