If by spectacular you mean terrible.


I really like the version of Atlantic City on it. There's a few parts where his wife or somebody sings that suck, but as far as Bruce goes, it's pretty solid.

Bruce lost me after he went panning for gold.

Turns out it he was hornswaggled. It was fool's gold, consarn it.

Joe liked some really dopey music sometimes.

I'm okay with Springsteen, but I can't think of a straight up rock 'n' roll song that he's written.

"Bruce is great and if you do not understand that you're a pretentious martian from Venus". Joe Strummer


What does that mean, exactly?

Imagine spending the day hearing Strummer's internal monologue. As he goes to the shops and hoovers his house and does lots of petty stuff.

I bet his Mrs nagged him to helping out here and there. But most of the time it'd probably have been her asking him to tidy up by the time she gets back and then he's passed out on the settee in front of the telly surrounded by beer cans and a giant spliff on the arm chair.

Why would he write the whole "letter" in permanent marker then sign his name with a pen? That there is phony-baloney.

I have no doubt he wrote it. Joe liked a lot of mediocre crap.
"According to the most sophisticated music DNA-mapping software on the Earth Internet, if you go six degrees away from Phil Collins, it's Phil Collins. I can't even begin to describe how mathematically terrifying and impossible that is, but if I had to try, I'd say it's like the number flerp getting raped by an eight."

I suspect Mick's tastes would intersect with mine more than Joe's.

I think mine would probably intersect most with John Moss.
Got a Rake? Sure!

I do think certain kinds of music can make you violent. Like, when I listen to Nickelback, it makes me want to kill Nickelback.
