I'm curious. That's why I am asking this question This is not political. Can you imagine what it would feel like to go on stage to play your music at a political rally and have 80,000 people show up? That is what happened today to Bruce Springsteen.

I know! From some other information I got from my local radio station, there was a sign that asked Bruce to come up for a beer. Well Mr. Springsteen took them up on their offer and they were so stunned that when he asked them their favorite song was that he sang, none of them could come up with one. Finally one person said "Born In The U.S.A." Pretty cool!:cool: :cool:

The crowd of 80,000 is actually from the Madison rally yesterday. Incredible!

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground You end up like a dog that's been beat too much 'Til you spend half your life just covering up

[chorus:]
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to Vietnam
To go and kill the yellow man

[chorus]

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
I go down to see the V.A. man
He said "Son don't you understand"

[chorus]

I had a buddy at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a little girl in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go

I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

The corniest song on earth.

Uh oh, I think we are getting close to a lock down here! Awesome picture AKA!!!!!

Bruce Springsteen is a great musician. Besides "Born In The USA" I also like the song "Dancing in the Dark". Awesome song.

I love Bruce, and it just makes me so mad, when people who have no clue get to meet the people I want to meet. Man if it were me I would have told him I loved the following songs:

Streets of Philadelphia
Cover Me
I'm On Fire
Dancin' in the Dark
Glory Days
Born to Run
Hungry Heart
Blinded by the Light
Asbury Park
My Hometown

Oh I wish I was there!!!!!

:rockon:

Hey, I heard there was a massive Bush political rally with Arnold Schwartzenegger, anybody got pics?

I was going to give this thread a chance, and I thought this was not going to turn political but it appears it is heading in that direction, so I'm closing this.


If there were a thread about musicians performing at a Bush rally, I would close that one, too. So don't think I'm only closing threads that apply just to liberal views and stuff.
