Think I'll just grab a few cans and go on a Bruce listening binge.

I've just decided the same. After I finish listening to The Lathums who I just heard on jools.

Drugs to help him with his depression! No wonder he is a Go Joe Biden supporter!

I'm sure it's very similar to any other country, it's just a marketing ploy that Irish people are somehow different and idiosyncratic and special that appeals to some naive people.

Actually any English person will tell you we do death well

Depression? :eek:


Ryan is gutted he didn't have that written on his cue card.

I like his honesty

Yes - I didn't mean literally the biggest

He didn't play 'Jack And Diane'.

Poor ole Joe needs "help" to keep him going full stop.

A party putting him front and centre and driving their own agenda through him is tantamount to elder abuse-he's nearly eighty.

Bruce’s best song, this.

Brilliant Disguise another gem!

RobertKK

I posted the original above if anyone wants to listen to it...

PsychoPete

Could they not have got Bruce to sing this?

In fairness Bruce is the only man who can sing about being a dad who leaves his wife and kids to get the ride and make it sound cool.

I haven't heard from Heathers in years

Say Your Number

Stop warbling

Though others did post it too I see

Why have him on and thirty thousand guitars behind him and not ask him for a tune

They’re good in fairness but not with this

mistersifter

Bruce talking about a 2022 return to playing live.

He mustn't have heard Dr Tubridy promising us a vaccine before Christmas.

sligojoek

Little known fact.

Myself and Brucie shared the same nickname when we were at school.

It looked like a zoom background, I dont think it was real

Capt. Autumn

Dancing in the dark was Bruce's only slice of pure pop. It's a fun song.

What's with this angry version?

Roots 2020

This is unadulterated ****e. Sick of classics being 'reinterpreted' every week.

CH3OH

The girl on the right seems in pain

You're telling me Bruce Springsteen is a more important music icon, than anyone since 1980?

So that means he's more important, had more of a legacy and more of an influence around the world than AC/DC, Prince, Guns n Roses, Michael Jackson, Kurt Cobain, Queen to name a few?

Not an argument about who's music is better, fact is they're all more influential and important towards pop culture than Bruce Springsteen, over the last 40 years.

Welsh Megaman

Bruce sitting in a recording studio surrounded by hundreds of geetars.


So no tune then.

Was a **** connection in fairness.

€15,000 would be nice

Aidric

Bit of a wasted interview tbf. One of the most gifted musicians and songwriters of all time being questioned on the covid/political situation in the US.

Springsteen is an on the record democrat so he only confirmed how most sound thinking people view Trump.

Born in The USA and Glory Days are pure pop tbf

Heathers are good, don't say that about many modern groups

Well equal and above them listed anyway - and Michael is not rock.

Was never a massive fan - but seen him last time in Croke Park - and was incredible.

He opened on his own - a song about 12 mins long and he had not played it in something like 20 years.

Some catalogue.

Incident On 57th Street, it wasn't 20 years, but it was the first time he performed it in Ireland.Great song.

FortuneChip

I like Matthew McConnaughy, but I'm already wincing at the awfulness of him denouncing Trump because it's the cool thing to do.

Saw the tracklisting of his new album, has a song called 'House of a Thousand Guitars' maybe he's being literal with that.

We knew older people were at more risk of mortality from the virus then, we saw what was happening in Italy, the virus was in Ireland and Tony Holohan went against the nursing home body which had called for people to not visit nursing homes.
Over 900 people died in nursing homes from the virus, meanwhile there are people who treats a person who said people should not be stopped from visiting them in March, as if he was some deity.
I do have big issues with this failure which he promoted before a U-turn when people started dying from the virus in the nursing homes.

Im not arguing with you or looking to debate but I'm in healthcare and a small piece of my weekly work is in a nursing home. My understanding was that there was a body representing nursing homes who wanted visiting stopped but it was HIQA who are the official representative of nursing homes on neqhet who didn't agree and the team took this on board.

On a personal level I'll say its extremely difficult, I felt a resident was moving to the final stages last Thursday and advocated for the family to come in. Which the home obliged. I spent the weekend worrying that if I got it wrong had I exposed the other 51 residents to covid. These are very complex issues. It's easy to judge but it's not easy to understand.

I would say, they are both pop-rock.

Dancing in the Dark was synthesiser heavy, very of its day, unlike anything he put out before or since.

Here's the Big O showcasing his tonsils, he seemed old when I was a kid but the man died waayyy before his time. Brilliant production from Jeff Lynne.

Above the influence of AC/DC, Prince, Queen, GnR and Nirvana? Nah...

Back in Black and AFD both sold more than Born in the USA. Never heard of anyone starting a music career because of Bruce or stating him as an influence over the last 40 years

As for Michael, yeah fair enough. Although, he has a good few rock songs. But, he's like The Beatles I guess in terms of influence and importance to Pop Culture

Okay so the interview with McConaughey will go exactly the same as the Bruce one. Ryan will start will his usual Irish roots ****, bit of covid, then Trump.

Martin the owner of O'Shea's in the San Jose Guinness advert looks a bit like Dr Tony Holahan (33 seconds in)

That's his own home studio where Letter To You was recorded.

Hungry Heart is my favourite.

I've heard it a billion times, love it now as much as the first time I heard it.
