  • Subject Rambo: It's true in those days Bruce looked a lot like Stallone. And still sometimes, they are both half italian and have a similar style of dressing and acting. But there is one big differencde if you compare them:their political position is 100% opposite,Bruce always was against the war and with the democrats;Stallone clearly is with the american conservatives like Bush!I am with Bruce because he sings like a real man instead of fighting and jumpin round with machine guns in movies.

  • as Jon Landau once said...

    "I saw the future of rock and roll  and its name is Bruce Springsteen",

    I gotta extend that..

    "I saw the future,the past and the present of rock and roll and its name is Bruce Springsteen",

    THE MAN AND HIS BAND ARE SIMPLY THE BEST ON THE PLANET,THERES NO-ONE WHO COMES CLOSE END OF STORY.

    THE BOSS, AND RIGHTLY SO, EVEN THO, HES NOW REFERRED TO AS "THE EMPLOYER" BY A CERTAIN MR VAN ZANDT! lol

  • @johnnygonzales Amen, Johnny. And don't forget, Stallone is a chickenshit chickenhawk who dodged the draft by going to Europe. At least the Boss didn't chicken out. He went for his draft physical, but was deemed unfit.

  • bruce is hamming it up a little too much in this version. see my thoughts on the actual nebraska recording by jakyhendrix. bruce is far too despondent on the album. and for these times 30 years later, that thought was right.

  • would love to see the Avett Brothers cover this song...loved Bruce's version when it came out .. the whole Nebraska album...and Johnny Cash's version is even more stark, if not as churning...i think the Avetts are genuine enough to hang with both Johnny and Bruce, and that is saying something....and would bring also their own unique gifts to their version

  • the man of the million bootlegs - great song. bruce: america loves you! actually i'm from germany

  • I like this much better than the more upbeat live versions he's done. I don't think the song is as powerful when it's sped up.

  • @1swapmaster1 One word: TRUE!

  • cool song i prefer johnny cash but this is the original.

  • @turk1559 mahwah sucks! they closed down the auto plant late last month.

  • i was at this show back in the day while being stationed in Germany with the army. Everybody looks so young. Getting old really sucks and now the BIG MAN is gone. r.i.p. Clarence, you were the best sax player i've ever seen.

  • fantastic posting and superb camera work.top draw.
