What a totally idiotic thing to say. This guy's brain must be as damaged as Tom Waits. If it was not for Bruce 99% of the worls wuld not know of this song. It is now Bruce's in the same way as "My Way" is Frank's.
Not bad. Tom's version is head and shoulders above this though. I've got respect for Bruce, but Waits is a true artist. He's unique, a visionary, a genius. Bruce is just a blue-collar, apple pie rocker.
Saw Bruce and the E Street Band in Connecticut and they were great, but it looks like Jersey is THE place to see them (which should have been obvious to me). Someday, I'll make sure I see them at Giants Stadium. In regard to Bruce, I have to admit that Jersey rules.
He covered a great song & had a huge hit...that makes him a theiving bastard..really...seems like it happens all the time & I'm sure Tom made money off it.
Yes ...he did cover a song by Mr. Waits,...however it was not a big hit for Bruce....defin.. a fan fav., but not a hit.....By the way...you may have heard....Bruce does have one or two big hits.....o yeah....and something like 5000 pre record songs......WHAT A THIEF!!!!! GET A CLUE TERRI823!!!! NEXT TIME YOU WANNA THROW STONES AT AN ARTIST....MAKE SURE ITS ONE THAT HASNT STOOD THE TEST OF TIME!!!
And before you chastize someone, make sure you've read the post correctly. I was responding to another post that called Bruce a thief...I was disagreeing, so you're nasty comment was really unneccesary, since I'm probably a bigger fan than you. So all that yelling was for nothing. Have a nice day.
cant appoligize enough.....your right....i saw your last comment and got pretty fired up....that being said...i'm trully sorry....but i am a HUGE fan...
Apology accepted...it's a mistake alot of people make online. Being born & raised in Jersey, I'm a huge Springsteen & Bon Jovi fan...the state fines you if you're not..LOL
You're damn right. Having a big artist perform your song is what leads to a good payday after years of struggling. Steve Goodman was starving until Arlo Guthrie recorded his "city of New Orleans." Billy Preston, a fine artist, made a killing when Joe Cocker and to a lesser extent, Dennis Wilson, recorded "you are so beautiful." Even Bruce and Patti Smith had a good payday when 10,000 maniacs recorded "Because the Night."
Just makes you wish you were young and hopping into a friends car and going to the Jersey Shore to find that pefect someone. Something about it almost puts me in a trance. Sometimes you just live vicariously.
first time I've heard this great song........where the hell was I?
