Bruce Springsteen (3) – The Toss

Posted on by

America has given us some great music.

Gershwin tunes, Motown,
Early country, Crosby stills Nash, the Doors,
Talking Heads, Blondie,
Elvis, and I enjoy them.

They also gave us Bruce Springsteen ☹️

Apparently a nice bloke.
Treats his musicians well,
Helps people.

I hate the cunt.
Everything sounds the same!!
I don’t get his appeal?

I honestly have tried,
Just don’t get it.

I pride myself on having a eclectic taste,
Encompassing all sorts of things.
Bruce doesn’t fit.

I was once offered a free ticket to see Bruce Springsteen in London.

I declined.
Fuck that.

Only thing he’s ever done is write ‘ because the night’ which Patti Smith sung brilliantly.

If Bruce had done it?
It’d had 20 saxophone on it and gone on forever.

It’s become a phobia now.
Anything he appears on I’ll turn it off.
His shitty music makes me puke.

Bet some evil cunt plays it at my funeral?
I’m getting tearful now…

    • Not going away gracefully into the night is he.? He’s had some high points ‘Human Touch’, ‘Tunnel of Love’ etc but charging north of a grand for recent gigs and an ardent demander of a jabbed audience soils his legacy for me.Saw him on the TOL tour in Sheffield,he was incredible.

  2. Anti-white, commie champagne socialist prick.

    Worse are the Yanks who play his anti American song, ‘Born in the USA’ as though it’s some sort of patriotic song, the fucking idiots.

    His ‘music’ is utter shit too.

    ‘The Boss’. Didn’t he give himself that name? I have no idea. It sounds the sort of thing he would do. Just like Paul ‘The Guv’nor’ Ince, the fucking shithouse.

  3. I never cared much for him but the music is ok I guess. I have his greatest hits CD. Funny that most yanks think Born in the USA is a song praising America. Listen to it.
    It’s not.
    My favorite song by him is Glory Days.
    Liberal cunt.

    • Agree about Glory Days, the rest of his output is shite.
      I only have to hear the opening bars of any of his tunes and off goes the radio switch, unless it’s Glory Days…

    • Downtown train shuffles along quite nicely.Lyrics to ‘I’m on fire’ a bit…odd ? Wonder if he was an Epstein islander like-Tyler,Chili pepper dude,Ferry,Le bon etc ?

      • I don’t think that showbiz cunts were on that island. Why would they be? They suddenly had problems getting groupies, so they went to a grim, spartan, creepy tiny island to get some kid sex? Nah. It was more likely politicians, scientists who went there. Pretty sure Bill Clinton was there.
        Was Elon Musk there? Hmm…

  4. I liked some of his early stuff, then he helped the miners….
    Fuck off you totally boring leftwing Yankee cunt.

    • Hello Ruff👍

      I genuinely gave him a fair shot.

      Race, country of origin, pidgeon hole category of music, doesn’t come into with music for me,
      If I like it, .. I like it.

      Jimmy Rodgers – yodelling county great from the 30s,? ….ok, yeah I like it!

      MC5? Yeah I like it!

      Bill Monroe bluegrass great? ..yeah gimme!

      The Stooges..love em!

      But this cunt?
      Nothing .

      Can’t make head nor tail of it?
      Can’t tell one from another.
      When ones started and one ends .

      I’m Springsteen dyslexic.

      • Neil young upset Lynrd Skyrd with ‘southern man’ didn’t he?

        Hehehe, he’s lucky not to have had his teeth punched out.

        They answered back in ‘sweet home Alabama ‘
        I recall.

      • ‘A Southern man don’t need him around, anyhow!’

        Get in. Proper song.

        Fuck Neil Young, the puff.

      • And it’s J.J.Cale & Ry Cooder for me all the way. Suck on that Spingstink, if you call yerself ‘The Boss!’

    • I call you correct, RTC. I clearly recall that America hating, lying, deceitful piece of devil’s excrement giving it large on stage with Springsteen. Maybe at the bastard’s inauguration, I don’t recall the occasion exactly. The mutual sucking up was most nauseating.

      I just don’t get why filthy rich ‘entertainer’ types like Springsteen hitch their wagons to insanely filthy rich politicians who hate, loathe and despise private citizens who are themselves filthy rich. Bummer advocated stripping wealth away from the wealthy and one of the wealthy (Springsteen) is/was best mates with him. Talk about loading your own gun, handing it to your executioner and asking to be shot in the head. Maybe being in such close proximity to cranked up amplifiers for so many years has rotted Springsteen’s brain.

      • Barry & Michael Obama don’t seem to have any problems accruing large amounts of wealth for themselves, do they?

  6. He’s just ripped off a great Northern Soul classic for his new album. ‘Do I love you’ by Frank Wilson. Shit cover. Cunt.

  7. You’ll be wanting the Bruce Springsteen tribute band ‘Born to Pun’ cancelling for your COTY inauguration then Mis?

    • I think it’s best not to LL.

      Maybe iron Maiden “pun to the hills” instead?

      Or my darling Kate Bush
      “Punning up that hill”?

      • People say his concerts go on and on Miserable. That’s the mistake you’re making. You’ve got to commit yourself to listen for at least 3 hours then you will ‘get it’.

      • Oh Christ Miles😥😥

        I couldn’t bare that!!
        The horror.
        Death by saxophone.

      • “Maiden England”-saw them a few times-fucking brilliant “pub band”back in the day.

  8. He was a big a cunt as any other rock star. After the ‘Bossmania’ craze of 1985, Springsteen went up his own arse and dumped his E. Street Band, thinking he could do it by himself. Of course, he couldn’t. So he reformed the group in the mid 90s. But only when it suited him, of course.

    Tony Wilson was usually a man of great taste and common sense. But I never got his love for Springsteen. Tony championed ‘Born To Run’ on Granada’s ‘So It Goes’. The man who gave us Joy Division and ACR bigging up Springsteen? I always found that strange….

  9. Music being a bit of a passion of mine, I’ll say this about Springsteen.

    I don’t care much for his voice/vocal style and I’ve not heard any guitar playing by him that struck me as particularly different, engaging or of a sound or quality that made me want to hear more.

    Way back I did buy his Born In The USA album for one song, I’m On Fire. I enjoy the guitar picking sound set against the keyboard melody. Plus he sings in a low key way, not in his usual raucous gravelly rock style. I also liked his contribution to the Philadelphia movie sound track, Streets of Philadelphia. The stripped back arrangement of drum machine and keyboard combined with a low key vocal/backing vocal works rather well. Not the kind of song he’s usually associated with or known for. So when Springsteen isn’t doing typical Springsteen I don’t mind it. Funny that.

    The rest of what I’ve heard by him sounds uninspired, run of the mill guitar orientated mush. It’s not for me. That said, anyone who’s enjoyed a long and successful career in the music business must be doing something right, but in Springsteen’s case I don’t get his lasting appeal.

  10. When Springsteen sings about America and does stuff like ‘The Ghost of Tom Joad’ it is seen by the media as a tribute to a lost era and a celebration of Americana.

    But when an English artist like Ray Davies or Morrissey celebrates England or how things were, they are seen by the same media as a bigot and right wing buffoons. What hypocritical shite.

    • That’s a really great point, Norm. Well observed, sir.

      Celebrating England and all things England will soon (if not already) be a thing of the past as the country continues its decline. Dear ol’ Blighty. Where did it all go wrong?

  11. Yup mnc his music sucks
    Like some of most of the others you mention.
    But born in the USA boy is shite

  12. Ah give him a break Mis, Hungry Heart, Born to Run, Brilliant Disguise. Cunt he might be everyone’s entitled to their peccadillo’s

    • I’m sorry Cuntymort,
      Normally for you I’d let it slide,
      But Bruce provoked me.

      That handkerchief hanging out his back pocket?

      Ducky boy.

      And he’s always hanging out with the Clinton’s or Barry shoeshine.

      He’s about 70 now, still has his shirt undone down to his bellybutton.

      Act your age!!
      Get a cardigan on .

      He’s like closeau is to police inspector Dreyfuss for me Cuntymort.

      I start to cackle hysterically, get a nervous tic.
      I hate the daft cunt.

  13. To me American music is the Byrds, Love, classic Beach Boys, CSNY, the Band, and Creedence. Got CSNY’s ‘Deja Vu’ on LP for Christmas. And apart from Crosby’s hippie dirge, Almost Cut My Hair, it’s still a great record. Neil Young being the star, of course.

  14. And I want to shake the silly little cunt and slap him a bit when I hear that cacophony of saxophones!!

    “Look you cunt!
    Just have one.
    Nobody else needs twenty.
    It’s too much!
    Your saxophone heavy!”

    I seriously think I’d attempt to kill him .
    Hes got me all upset now the horrid cunt.

  15. I quite like ‘Girls in their summer dress’

    The definite article, not the Springsteen song of similar title.

    He’s still better than the Boomtown Shats or Dexys Midnight Bummers mind.

  16. I really feel for Mark Chapman.
    I ‘get’ him.

    If he’d shot Springsteen instead of Lennon he’d do well to have me as the judge.

    Walk out free with a expenses cheque in his pocket and taxi fare home.

    But Lennon was a easy shot!
    Home in on his nasal Scouse voice…💥boom.
    Adiós.

    Springsteen you’d need a rifle and scope.
    Hard shot to make.
    Bullet probably hit a fuckin saxophone,

    I’d suggest a hand grenade if anyone is offering to rid me off this fuckin Rotter?

  17. He was massive for a while after born in the USA (the only one I remember really)but it did sound as though he was trying to shit out a hedgehog sideways oof!

  18. I like him. Going with my daughter to see him this Spring….

    *Runs off clutching tin hat*

    • I’m having to accompany Mrs Ghee to Barcelona in April to see the bastard.

      I first saw him on ToL at Wembley Stadium in 1987 and he was amazing. Thanks to the fucking ball n chain I’ve seen the cunt live about 10 times in total. He’s a superb live performer but tbh after a while it gets boring after a while because you know what he’s going to be like every bloody time.

      Give me Dylan every time. You never know what you’re gonna get. He’s either mind-blowing or complete shite depending on his mood and whether or not he can be arsed. The nights when he’s on his game are so bloody good.

      Mind you, she got me a ticket to T Rextasy in Maidstone later this month so I shouldn’t complain. Now that’s a fucking brilliant show, and a cheap night out

  19. Good nom Mis 👍

    Vastly overrated cunt.

    The way this cunt peddled vaccine mandates/Covid vaccine passports for his shite concerts (in true typically liberal leftist style – the irony) was unforgivable and certifies him as a cunt for all eternity in my opinion.

    Back to music.

    I know a fella who’s very much into his music.

    The same fella introduced me to the likes of Rory Gallagher and Captain Beefheart back in my younger years and does generally seem to have a keen ear for music.

    However, he also claims that Bruce Springsteen is his favourite artist. Which I can’t wrap my head around.

    Bruce and his music are definitely both cunts.

  22. I know a bloke who paid £1000 for a ticket to see him in New York. Silly cunt. I don’t think I’d pay that for half an hour with Jennifer Lawrence. It would be an American Pie moment anyway. I’d have done a white wee wee even before my undercrackers had come off.

  23. Listen to the start of ‘Santa Claus Is Coming To Town’ and the cunt’s got a stammer like ‘Arkwright’.

    I quite like some of his stuff, including the above, but prefer ‘I’m On Fire’.

      • I remember a cunt I used to know catching ‘Bossmania’ in 1985. The smug fucker had Springsteen wristbands and a he never shut up about him. Until he did the same thing with U2 in 1987 and R.E.M in 1991. Wagon jumping cunt, he was. Went on about ‘Born In The USA’, but knew fuck all about Springsteen’s other albums. That’s the sort of trendy knobhead he was.

        R.E.M are another US act who get on my knackers. Byrds rip-offs with the terribly irritating Michael Stipe whining on vocals.

    • I thought he was pissed when singing that. Sounds like Homer Simpson trying to sing whilst engorging himself in a family sized cream cake.

  24. Totally agree with the Nom, Springsteen goes completely over my head. Have never liked his music.

  25. Springsteen danced like he had freshly shat his pants in the “Dancing in the Dark” video, if I recall correctly. He shuffles around like he is trying to shake the errant dangleberry down one of his trouser legs.

    His song writing is pretty unsophisticated too. It seems to either centre around some girl who has walked out on him or his car that has broken down.

    Not my tasse de thé.

  27. Can’t stand his manufactured “Working Man” image, or his “straining out a log” voice.
    Oven. Preferably a soundproof one…

  28. It’s a bit unfair to criticise him for being left-wing. Almost all rock/pop musicians are left-wing. Or claim to be.
    Thunder Road’s a good song, let down by cheesy last verse. The River (song), Human Touch (song), also good.
    Too many of his songs are ‘the same’; too many are about cars, which led one critic to ponder what he would have written about if he’d failed his driving test.

    • He’s a pickled in aspic type of leftie methinks before it tilted to the current technowokefascistry axis it now occupies possibly ?.Hard to swap horses midstream i guess for a chap of his vintage,i can forgive him a certain naivety,he’s not Bono grade cunt in his posturings and his musical legacy is assured if he’d only just retire.He’s going full macca sadly.

  29. I do like Glory Days and My Home Town. Outside that not a fan but he is well thought of by people who work for him and meet him on the road.

    I don’t like his politics but everyone is allowed an opinion even if it is wrong.

    Is he a cunt though, has he justified the title cunt?

    After consideration he must be a cunt because this cunting is written by the world heavyweight cunting champion, the undefeated, undisputed Miserable Northern Cunt himself.

  30. Spiffing nomination, MNC.
    Apart from my brother back in the ‘80s, I don’t know a single person who is or was a fan of this cunt.
    To me his music is generic, bland and boring.
    He uses too many unnecessary instruments that drown each other out, to the point it all sounds like an annoying cluttered mess.
    His voice sounds like he swallowed a lava lamp and he overuses the saxophone in places it doesn’t belong.
    He can be a good song writer, but his lyrics get too predictable and his writing style has remained basically the same since The River.
    He lacks innovation and hasn’t done anything remotely fresh since Darkness On The Edge Of Town.
    Listening to his music is like watching a Hulk Hogan match in the late 1980s: it’s not very interesting and you know how it’s going to end.
    Plus he’s a lefty. But they all were back in the day, apart from Neil Young who was a Reagan supporter.
