That isn't bad, of course, and Springsteen does it better than many. My music tastes have broadened (partly--but don't tell him--because of Ubub's influence) and so I am more aware of some aspects of music. That said, we still pop in Bruce's Live in Barcelona dvd when we want to watch/listen to a great show. <BR/><BR/>Ubub, speaking of you, I am positive that your rant/lecture WAS in fact brilliant. And I can absolutely picture the Lovely Ms. A just waiting for your conclusion, and enjoying your tangent ever so much. <BR/><BR/>Hell, it makes me smile hearing about it.Streakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443433745929880701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397103.post-26439386751108232882007-10-08T16:34:00.000-05:002007-10-08T16:34:00.000-05:00This is more of a "stuff passing for music lately"...This is more of a "stuff passing for music lately" story than a Springsteen story. <BR/><BR/>The other day, Lovely Ms. A and I were having dinner at a restaurant and we were trying to figure out who was singing the song that came on. We both remembered it from the early '90s. Lisa Stansfield, she guessed. I said that I thought it was Taylor Dayne (because that was the kind of music she was into when we met. That and Prince. Always Prince). She agreed that I was right, then said, "when do you think they stopped making my kind of music?" <BR/><BR/>So I launched into this brilliant piece about how Nirvana's Nevermind helped to make what had been "alternative" part of the mainstream, how it was the catalyst that brought us all kinds of great music at the expense of late '80s, early '90s dance pop acts like Lisa Stansfield and Taylor Dayne. It was a real watershed moment, music history and we lived through it. I was really on a roll, I mean en fuego. Instead of looking all fascinated she just kinda smiled and waited it out. (she does that).<BR/><BR/>Then she laughed and said, "NO, when did they stop making Behind the Music." Maybe I'm the one who's getting old, but at least they never stopped making my kind of music.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397103.post-5497980096681822172007-10-08T15:13:00.000-05:002007-10-08T15:13:00.000-05:00As an aside, I saw a video of Bruce's wife playing...As an aside, I saw a video of Bruce's wife playing a new song of hers with Bruce in the background playing harp- it was REALLY good. I figure a bad Springsteen song still a good bit better than a lot of stuff passing for music lately.<BR/><BR/>Later-BBBootleg Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842413990753418066noreply@blogger.com
