I love The Boss.

Not content with royaly screwing those of us living in the real world he's ruined one of the last pleasures left I can actually afford.

Not going to get his shiny forehead out of my mind now evey time I hear Thunder Road.

Sad

i bet he wouldnt know a Bruce Springsteen track if it slapped him on his shiny head, he is just saying that to sound 'hip' - bit like tony b.liar with the Arctic monkeys. cannot listen to them at all now.

Retropear · 08/08/2013 18:07

I know Bruce is soooooo left wing,true working class type of guy(as depicted in all his songs). A thoroughly nice man.

As if Dave,as if!

i know - i was just thinking about the politics of the boss and the ghost of tom joad.....

Bruthastortoise · 08/08/2013 18:14

Bollocks. There's just no way. The Boss would give DC a complete look of disdain and rock on by him Smile

My favorite CD is The Revelator by Gillian Walshe, but it's never been the same since I heard it is Dave and Sam Cameron's favorite too

Can't they keep their hands off anything?Angry

I shuddered when I read that. Like you, OP, I won't be able to listen to anything without thinking of his shiny smug face.

However, he did mention Nebraska, which he wouldn't have known about if he was just dancing in the dark.

The thing that pissed me off was that he called it his guilty pleasure.

It's interesting that listening to him has had absolutely no effect on his policies.

GameSetAndMatch · 08/08/2013 19:16

yep his fave BS songs are:

Born to run....this country. hes renamed it 'born to ruin'.
Hungry heart....for our money.
Glory days....yeah, right.
Im on fire...ha ha ha ha ha...gguy Fawkes comes to mind Grin.
Brilliant Disguise....as a caring for the masses man!

cant remember if Bruce has any songs about being shiny!?

Secretswitch · 08/08/2013 19:20

Interesting he would mention Nebraska as it based on thrill killings in the 1950's..

mignonette · 08/08/2013 19:20

Don't forget Robbin' Jean (Bobby Jean)

'Dancing In The Dark' because there's no money to switch the lights on

ImperialBlether · 08/08/2013 19:28

Grin at Dancing in the Dark

ImperialBlether · 08/08/2013 19:29

I loved the fact Obama loves Springsteen. Funny that it makes my skin crawl to think of Cameron liking him.

Retropear · 08/08/2013 19:30

Game and MigGrin ha ha!

Add This Depression and Wrecking Ball

Omg I just Googled his list of songs,the list is huuuuuge,I'd forgotten. Makes you remember what a talent he is.

Secretswitch · 08/08/2013 19:37

Don't forget My City In Ruins..

Suttonmum1 · 08/08/2013 19:38

No no no this is awful. DS (12) is upstairs now going through new (old) Bruce I have just put on his ipod making a very long list of his favourites.

He will be saying he's into Billy Bragg next.

What is the source of this info?

Suttonmum1 · 08/08/2013 19:39

I mean Cameron saying he's into Billy Bragg, not my DS

Retropear · 08/08/2013 19:39

God yes!

What an utter arse.

Can just imagine the Bullingdon Boys sitting round tapping their feet to that.Hmm

Yeh right!

Just found the piece and read it. I am gutted that he has been at the front and I haven't.

mollygibson · 08/08/2013 19:44

The leader of the Scottish Tories was at the same Bruce gig as me in June... I was Angry

I wondered if she had bought his last album and if so, how could anybody so completely miss the point?

MalcolmTuckersMum · 08/08/2013 19:45

I have heard that David Cameron shits every day too. I do hope this shocking news won't immediately cause your bowels to seize up to fuck?

Retropear · 08/08/2013 19:45

What you mean in the golden circle(couldn't bring myself to actually read said article),nooooooooo!Shock

Off to read it for myself.
