Bruce who?

If you are a Springsteen fan, you may not appreciate this

Last night, I was flipping channels and came across a Roy Orbison special....now, I wasn't a BIG fan, and still am not, of Orbisons but felt compelled to watch it cause it was in Black and White...which I believe was part of the title...it was a semi tribute with Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, KD Lang, Sprigsteen and others, accompanying Orbison, doing his songs. Now, I AM a fan of Costello and Lang...so I settled in to watch....

So, they did the usual, lyrics and some solo leads....what amused me is when they would go to Springsteen, for a "lead riff" he looked like a deer in the headlights....after others performed their solo bits with flourish, Sprigsteen could barely manage a decent riff, worthy of a good musician....but yet, he was all about forcing his way onto Orbisons place, on stage, like it was his concert.....Hey Bruce, you are not the one they are honoring and you aren't in the same catagory as Orbison so sit down in the corner and strum...what an annoying asshole he was....oh, and I have always questioned his guitar abiltiies and this show, helped to strengthen that belief....what a poser

Oh, I know some of you folks treasure the boy from Freehold....well, I'll give you this, Brucie did manage some "decent" lyrics way back in the day...but now he's a 2nd rate performer at best....sorry,I know some of you fancy yourselves music experts...and can spout how one artists lyrics are the best ever...or have been to every concert of another artist and fancy yourself an expert, that no one can refute...I get all that hype...but I know what I like and enjoy and Springsteen's time has come and gone, so...let's hope there is another "wonder" coming out of NJ soon...cause this ship has sailed.
