It's hard for Springsteen to be poltiically naive as his opinions are mainly very simple. His opposition of Bush's administration wasn't even a political matter. His pointing out of the fact that the government were simply breaking the constitution by wire-tapping, rendition, voter suppression, separation of church and state, are not naive observations to make. Any political flaws that Obama or Kerry may have had don't make them a worse choice than what was in power.Last two albums are truth.
The Boss...the toss complete rip off ...THE POGUES SALLY MACLENNANE...go on McAndra & Megan sing along "we kissed them as wee put them on the train....American Land my arse.....
Anyone else who sang "I'm going down while I'm still young" when they were 54 would be so pathetic, but Bruce... He really does act like he's still young, so there's really no room for argument there! XD
this song is so fun and you cannot stop yourself from jumping up and down when he plays it. ive seen him play it at giants stadium twice (right before the awesome fireworks) and at msg on saturday night. this song is awesome
saw Bruce with the E street band this juli in Denmark. Damn was the best koncert ive ever been at. They played this tune so damn well. thx to Bruce for being what he is.. the best preformer in the world.
I have just watched the Boss perform this at Glastonbury. Everytime he does this anthem, it just gets better and better. Here is a man with friends and admirers the world over. All Bruce Springsteen does is enriches your life. The Boss is a slogan which does not do him justice. Better, he be called a genius.
To Sluggerotoole....I think you will find that this not a Pogues song but was written by Springsteen with the exception of the 1st verse which was translated by Peete Seeger from a Slovak poem by Andrew Kovaly which translate into He lies in the American Land....
Amazing song, but I think I prefer it with the E Street Band :) Saw them live yesterday at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, and seriously, NOTHING beats Mighty Max' intro!! :)
I was all of his concerts in the Point with the Seeger Sessions, the first gig was definitely the best in terms of pure energy. The band were buzzing! Great song! Was brilliant in the RDS last year, can't wait until this Summer! The man is a legend!
He played this last nite in Foxboro, i didn't expect it, but it bein Mass, i had a feelin that he was gonna ask if neone was irish in the audience n this came on n i fukin flipped
GREAT BRUCE VIDEO!! I have a teen-oriented, hockey themed book coming out in October which has over 25 Bruce song and characters from Bruce songs, references (the hockey team is named the Magic Rats, the lead character plays hockey "undeneath Abrams Bridge" etc)!!
I did a promo video for the book and you can see the video by just clicking on my name.
I was there in 2006 and in 2008 - American land as the last song in both shows. Fantastic, especially in dublin with 40,000 irish people jumping up and down.
i went to the may 2 concert and that was my first bruce concert...i have to say that was the best concert that i have been to out of all the concerts that i have been to..im definitely gonna go to his next concert in FL if he has any....Great concert
without a doubt he is the best live performers ever, the concert in Dublin on the 25th May was amazing and my hubby isn't an avid fan like me but he loved it, hope he comes again to Ireland
My dad took me to see Bruce and the E Street Band last month at the Honda Center. (I hadn't really liked him and his music before hand. I know better now!) He told me Bruce put on the best show of all time, and I couldn't agree more. =D I was so pumped afterwards when he played this song at the end.
When Bruce made the Seger Sessions album and went on the Seger sessions tour, the E Street Band took a break and he went with a different band, known as the sessions band.
i was at that concert and i can say that it was amasing. it was the first bruce concert i had been to so i didnt get to see him with the e street band. i am happy that he is having another concert with the e street band. brilliant music
I find the website Doylesroom com very appealing. Doyle Brunson, who by the way you can meet quite often at a table, seems to be very friendly and the conversation between Doyle and the pretty blond came across very well. The best Promo Code is LOVECARD, because only with this one can you get $550 immediately. Take action right away, since deals like this normally don´t last very long!
Same Feeling with this song...The right song of Pogues is "Sally Mc Lenan" (or something approaching) from the album (if I recall well) os "Rhum, Sodomy and the lash"...Not really precise but it can help :)
The man is a star. To have endured for some 30 years but still come up with a fresh new style. I have loved the boss sice Greetings from Asbury Park came out many many years ago but the Seeger Sessions are something special.
I was there in Dublin!!! I went all the way from Brazil just to see him on stage once again after I had seen him in New York City in june... Bruce will always be the BOSS!!! Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil!
I was there for all three nights!!!!! Froze our balls off to get to the front. At the front each night. every night a Dublin gem!! Don't care what you American, or politically minded people think. The Seeger Sessions Band ROCK! If i am selfish I apologise but this is the IRISH side of Bruce ane we love it. I would be the first to welcome a rockin (Further up the road) type album, Streeters. Sorry i am ranting. Just glad I have appeared on a Bruce CD and DVD!!!!!! LOVE IT BOSS!!!!!!!!
Bruce is my ALL-Time favorite. BUT these close-up shots of him makes me feel like I'm looking thru a keyhole! Too many quick camera shots bouncing all over the place. Hard to watch. Disapointing. BACK UP THE CAMERAS! Had to stop half way thru.
LOVE this song!!
