I hate you missed it. Go buy the new box set and revel in seeing the boys circa 1975. 274300@blogcritics.org Thu, 17 Nov 2005 11:11:53 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/15/151250.php#comment-273520 Hey, I'm a youngster and I happen to think Bruce Springsteen is still the greatest musical act in the world hehe. I was *this* close to attending his Storyteller's show in Red Bank, NJ, but United screwed my flight up. Moral of the story: don't fly United, if only for me. 273520@blogcritics.org Wed, 16 Nov 2005 00:48:34 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/15/151250.php#comment-273485 Giddy dickhead?

I was trying to pretend it wasn't happening, but now I can't. To you and my brother, who just saw Bruce in AC the other night and had to tell me all about it in full detail, fuck you very much for making me a bad parent [she says as she heads off to NPR.org to listen to today's Fresh Air while the kids eat dinner]. 273322@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Nov 2005 18:10:13 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/15/151250.php#comment-273313 oh, duh! sorry, i'm so jazzed by alla this that i just can't think/read straight. 273313@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Nov 2005 17:50:15 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/15/151250.php#comment-273310 ha! mark, by old-timers i meant folks like springsteen. i imagine you yourself can't move for this kinda banter! i'd say they shout it on the streets!! but bruce, the youngsters forget about him.

Half the best shit gets released right before Christmas and I am supposed to just not buy any of it? Fuck a whole lot of that. Now, I did have to choose between BTR 30th or the new U2 Vertigo/Chicago DVD. I wound up going with BTR. I am just listening to the album (which I've kind of heard a time or two before) and I already know I made the right decision. 273288@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Nov 2005 17:22:31 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/15/151250.php#comment-273286 hells fire! i ain't permitted to buy nothin till christmas. just as well all who need to know these things know that this would be a Much Appreciated Gift. 273286@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Nov 2005 17:17:00 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/15/151250.php#comment-273279 Fortunately, the wife to whom I am married is a sainted soul who took me to purchase the set at lunchtime. 273279@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Nov 2005 17:04:34 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/15/151250.php#comment-273256 i'm listening to the podcast edits from the documentary. it's killin' me. i may have to leave early. 273256@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Nov 2005 16:28:11 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/15/151250.php#comment-273253 I have my box sitting to my left and the CD in my computer (can't watch the DVD at work).
