Oh, and van Zandt took to wearing a head scarf because he was thrown through the windshield in an auto accident, and his hair never grew back properly due to the scarring on his scalp: But by all means, keep ridiculing him for it. Ignorance and malice love to keep one another company.

Wow, that's funny. Anyone who would get bent out of shape by that quote -- which makes perfect sense in the context of the interview, by the way -- is probably still ticked off about John Lennon insisting the Beatles were bigger than Jesus. This forum belongs in the Internet Troll Hall of Fame, by the way. The guy with his panties in a was over Springsteen being Jewish is just priceless. I've got ten bucks that says he still lives at home -- any takers? If I advertise a specimen jar with the foreskin from Springsteen's briss for sale on eBay, how much do you think I could get for it? :-)

The following story is circulating on the Internet. No sources are given except for www.contactmusic.com Does anyone know if these quotes are true?? -- American rocker/actor/DJ STEVE VAN ZANDT blames legend BOB DYLAN for ruining rock music. The 55-year-old E STREET BAND guitarist, whose radio show LITTLE STEVENS UNDERGROUND GARAGE plays rock 'n' roll to over 2 million people in the US, insists that Dylan's politically and socially charged music killed the fun rock of previous years. He says, "Yes, I do actually (blame Bob Dylan). And I tell him any chance I can. "Look, the truth is that of course I can see the value of the Bob Dylan thing, but we try to stay on balance on the fun part. "I want to play music from a time when rock 'n' roll was fun and we danced to it." 06/12/2005 09:29 I found the story here

a bit ex post facto, Jersey Native, but I appreciate the facts and the point of view. We had to part ways with Mark as he became increasingly abusive and psychotic. This thread was tame by comparison

Way back up near the top of the page, EO said that Steven grew up in South Jersey. Middletown AIN't South Jersey, sweets - Monmouth County is Central Jersey, at best. Mark the Muddled and Pretentious claims that Bruce should sound like he's from north Jersey - Mark, [Deleted. Mark's long gone but we are still here, maintaining the no personal attacks policy... Comments Editor.], I've got news for you, people from Monnouth Co don't sound like people from "North Jersey" (tho' they do tend to be fans of those lame-assed Jets, unlike real South Jerseyans who are Eagles fans) --- but then again, my mother [God rest her soul], who was from Jersey City, didn't sound like she was from North Jersey, either. My father, a native of Red Bank, also does not sound like he is from North Jersey. I - a native of Gloucester County [actual south Jersey) - also do not sound like I am from north Jersey. You, Mark the Paranoid and Deranged, DO sound like a COMPLETE and UTTER [Deleted by Comments Editor] Further, Mark, you poor excuse for an intellect, you are WRONG and EVERYONE ELSE HERE is RIGHT. You claim "memory" of a picture from a THIRD PARTY SOURCE that make a reference to without providing the actual documentation and them have the unmitigated gall to to demand concrete evidence to refute your unsubstanitated claim! ROFLMMFAO!!! Case dismissed, with prejudice, for failure to state a claim upon wich relief can be granted

Hey, What a fierce debate we have going here. You can find a great interview with Little Steven about the fight to save CBGB here: http://www.wtue.com

back to the original, for more interesting and germane topic, Little Steven spoke to the R&R program director's conference in July.

once again, I will try to cut through to the essence of the argument as presented by Mark: Bruce treated his first wife poorly, he sometimes sings with a country-music accent (or wait, do you think all country music singers are from the South?), therefore he must be Jewish?

And incidentally, "Victor Plenty," that's a fabricated name if I ever heard one. What's your story, Hmmmmmmm????????????

"What does that have to do with your out-and-out obsession with Bruce's religious heritage?" As I've said before, like most celebrities, I think he's a fake, a phony, and a fraud, with his working man overtures and that stupid Tom Joad voice that doesn't sound like anything from New Jersey. I also thought how he treated his first wife was really awful, too, being married and then cheating on her with that big nosed skank in his band. What a creep.

It wasn't directed against you, godoggo. In fact I appreciate your sane and sensible empirical approach to this investigation, even though the topic itself is insane and insensible.

I will ignore that snotty remark, Victor. Anyways, to clarify, copy and paste the following into google: springsteen -bruce site:.nl

I never, never get caught in blog debates, because they're normally kind of unpleasant. But this one is fun. On account of it's insane. Anyways, the point is that if you'd done the search and looked at the results, you'd see that there are lots of people with that name in the Netherlands, contrary to what you said somewhere up there. In retrospect, a better search parameter might have been "site:.nl", which would have restricted it to sites in Holland, rather than Dutch language sites. Give it a whirl, if your so inclined. I also ejoyed the "Scientology" debate. That was a good one.

Likewise for you and your "rightist" friends, Mark. And by the way, the illustrious libertarian and former Senate candidate Mr. Al Barger recently pointed me out as an example of a reasonable and eminently... sensible person of Democratic leanings. What does that have to do with your out-and-out obsession with Bruce's religious heritage?

"I care about silly untruths floating out there unexamined on a website that I care about." I note, berlin, that you don't offer the same level of scrutiny toward the blogs that routinely bash our President and our nation's foreign policy which actually abound in what you term as "silly untruths."

"NO ONE WOULD CARE." You and the rest of the St. Bruce Defense Society thought enough to care, otherwise, you wouldn't have continued to respond, right? or do you typically post responses to blogs where you don't care about the topic?

You're not alone. Celebrities get what they want. They want peoples' misplaced affections and unwarranted adorations as a therapeutic reminder that their own parents sucked and millions of fans are a validation of their worth. Not only do celebrities need to restate in gaudy fashion their intrinsic value to the masses, but furthermore they demand the public know of their anomalous stature. Everyone wants to be Neo. Celebrities manifest "the one" in themselves by plastering their personal symbolism (bios, their fake names, pictures) in magazines, ads, television shows, movies...you name it, as if the world MUST stop to recognize some fraudulant personal reckoning. Sorry for the digression. To stay on topic, people who are fixated with celebrities add to the choas and buy in to the myths that the perpetrators contrive without hesitation. To put it bluntly, if BRUCE had not marketed himself as a CELEBRITY, (not a musician or songwriter), he would be your average joe impressing the local high schoolers at Springstein's Music Inc.

No one is defending a celebrity from anything. You're offering allegations for some kind of a bizarre coverup with NO PROOF other than a memory of an old poster. And even if you had a tiny tad of real proof (which you really, really, really [really] don't)... NO ONE WOULD CARE. Thus, I quote and stand by myself in stating:

Am I the only one laughing at how insane -- truly, clearly, undilutedly insane -- this conversation is?

How many more times can we go around on this one? I'm guessing you have more stamina for this madness than I do, so I hearby sign off here.
