"Hey where did we go?" They went up her ass, obviosuly.

IMHO and many other I know, The Boss is a great song writer performer. Whomever told him he could SING, was lieing to him!!

Mike Ness would stomp a mudhole in the Boss.

As anyine who's been paying attention knows, Springsteen is my favorite artist. He doesn't write songs about alcohol but he does write some about drinking experiences- Spirit in the Night, Glory Days, Highway Partrolman spring to mind. Any mood you're in the guy has an albums worth of songs for.

As for Mike Ness....
In 1999, Ness released his first solo album, Cheating at Solitaire. Although some of Social Distortion's songs paid homage to country music artists, Cheating at Solitaire was an unalloyed expression of Ness's country influences. Solitaire included a guest appearance by rock icon Bruce Springsteen.

But hell, either you like the Boss or you don't.

I didn't mean that as a slam to the Boss. Mikey just rocks harder. And hell I love Bruces version of Blinded better than Mannfreds anyways.

I find that the grand irony of "Born in the USA" being co-opted by the Reagan-Bush neo-cons amusing.

Just my opinion, but there are quite a few bands that rock harder than Springsteen. And while I'm feeling 'agin', Thoroughgood just plain sucks. He is a no talent hack/rip-off artist.

I wouldn't say Springsteen rocks.

He can sure write a song though.

Jungleland, Thunder Road, Badlands, Born to Run, The River, Drive All Night, Atlantic City...

There's more of course, but just based on the above I'd by him a few drinks if I ever saw him in a bar.

Now you can shut the hell up. Where in the hell is the Southside of anything in NJ? Besides, he's been playing at Great Adventure since the damn park opened.

Who's NJ? Billy Hector, pal.

Hell, I know a great oi band that does a hell of a cover of Born to Run.

Anybody who can write a line like "you ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright" and make it sound like a worthwhile compliment is okay in my book.
