I’d weigh Milli Vanilla’s opinion more than the NJ phony’s.
For real! It appear that highly over rated people like to back each other up.
phhf......Bruce “freakin” Springsteen! What a clown!
I’m voting for Lemmy!
How to write a Bruce Springsteen song
HOW TO WRITE A BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN SONG : A I HATE MUSIC CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE SPECIAL
1: Choose your era. If you want to write a 70’s Springsteen song go to page 2. If you want to write an 80’s Springsteen song go to 3. If you want to write a 90’s or late song go to option 4.
2: Read a local newspaper. Pick an issue (disaffected youths drag racing, or the closing down of local factories are good). Make sure your song has a couple of protagonists - male and female - the females must end in the letter Y. If you want to write a ballad go to option 5. If you want to write a rabble rousing rock stonker go to 6.
3: Read a national newspaper. Pick an issue (disaffected twenty somethings annoyed by the government or the closing down of entire national industries are good). Your songs do not need protagonists, you speak for all of America now. However if you want to write a ballad go to option 5. If you want to write a rabble rousing rock stonker that will make people misunderstand the actually not very subversive lyrics go to 6.
4: Read the world section of a newspaper. If you can’t find this in America you can always try Time Magazine, Newsweek or pick up a foreign paper when you are abroad. Pick an issue (pandemic diseases or the closing down of entire global industries are good). Pick a protagonist, preferably male and extra preferably borrowed from American literature. If you want to write a ballad got to option 5. If you want to write a rabble rousing rock stonker you should have picked another period - 90’s Springsteen doesn’t do that stadium rock bollocks. Go to 5 instead but pick up a drum machine on the way.
5: You have decided to write a ballad. These are supposed to be sad so they should be slow, only employ half of the E Street Band and involve you singing the chorus very slowly somewhere along the line whilst doing an impression of the cookie monster. The whole affair should end on a pessimistic downbeat note, preferably with the death of a character.
6: You have decided to write a rabble rousing rock stomper (check its not the nineties, if it is go straight to 5 - you are not allowed in here). Get all of the E Street Band together put your foot on the monitors and ROCK OUT. Remember the cliched sentiments in the lyrics don’t matter because the music is too driving to coherently listen to them. Make sure there is a big saxaphone break. The whole affair should end with a drum roll, cymbal smash and you wiping your forehead - preferably with a sweatbanded wrist.
There, you have written a Bruce Springsteen song, and are now eligable to come number two in the best album of the year charts in Uncut and Mojo for the rest of eternity. You will have to start writing about space soon though.
