I told you all he was STUPID, He spent Years in the church and didn’t learn a damned thing, he still cheated on all his wives and children.

Draft dodging coward

Yep. Not much worse that that.
I guess he REALLY believes that 200 years from now SOMEONE on the planet Earth will care about him.

I guess Brucie never heard of Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Verdi, Puccini, et al. THEIR music is still played and listened to after HUNDREDS of years.
Why? Because it IS music for the ages.

Later in his life STING started listening to Bach and friends because he said that HIS music was "garbage."
Humble pie from Sting.

Cheating IS stupid. All sin is stupid. He listened to the Evil One.
It's simply not worth it to offend our Maker.

I did meet and talk with Bruce a couple of times when he was still in his early 20s, playing in tiny clubs at the shore, and he was a very nice person then. But when the hard-banging Born in the USA and Born to Run mega-success got rolling (”Bawwwn...”), and particularly after his faithless first marrage and divorce, he became insufferable, and that was even before he started mouthing off politically. Tragic waste of talent.

How are you, AW? And a Merry Christmas to you!

Interesting account...I agree with your assessment there. Liberalism is a poison that corrodes the container it is carried in.

I heard a radio interview of him in the 70’s. Complete idiot and couldn’t put two intelligent sentences together. Every other word was ‘like”, “and”, “uh”, “you know”, and “um”.

What’s the use of complaining, as they say, rlmorel... but how are you? Hope all is well. Certainly miss the auld days on Georgia Avenue.

Did you see this news of last weekend? IIRC, your dad is there? Lovely...

Yes...I miss the group. They were normal people, who didn’t like what they saw, and took the time to stand up and be counted.

I like that.

Yes...my Mom and Dad are there. I haven’t been down to see them for going on two years. Time for a trip down. Wish I could be there for the inauguration!

We sent our daughter to a Catholic school even though we are not Catholic because it was the best option for her at the time. I suspect many non-Catholics do the same.

The only non-Catholics allowed in the Catholic high school I attended, were the good athletes.
