I have to say, watching Bruce Springsteen rock out the Super Bowl with the reckless abandon of an aged teenager it made me realize how he might be (as has been so well publicized) the ideal schlock-God for the global community of Meat-lovers watching this EPIC machine of an event that is, le Super Bowl. Really, he had that audience eating out of the palm of his blue-collar hands his after one shriek of his gruff howl, and I'm certainly not mad at it. Springsteen is the American Rock Icon who deserves such a beer-embattled raging audience as found at the Super Bowl, and he DEFINITELY knew what to do with said crowd.
Also, as much as i might not LIKE to admit it, he's probably one of the best ambassadors we (as an Americans) have going in the music world at this point. I mean, you find me someone with anything even remotely derogatory to say about "the Boss" in question? - then punch him in the mouth. The Boss puts on a damn good show in his twilight years, and sure as hell beats Cisco or Fuckin' Paul McCartney (were they SERIOUS?)
I'm not saying i listen to this so-called "boss" with much frequency, but i definitely have moments when Born to Run is JUST what the doctor ordered (don't front, you fucking music geeks...) Honestly, who can really argue with the merit of his Hit-Factory? Check out "born in the USA" if you're feeling nostalgic. EPIC 80's schlock done to poignant perfection.
Stevie Van is also the Boss in my mind, talk about a man of many hats (no puns)...
I think he was up past his bedtime. No offense Le bistro
ReplyDeleteahh yes he is certainly an AGE-ed bossman, but it was definitely past the bedtimes of half of the football fans watching, no? The trendy new york boy is not their target demographic...
ReplyDeleteand he struts pretty good for an old guy.
if it was, i would say AGAINST ME! do the Supabowl
