The Infectious Appeal of Bruce Springsteen
This is yesterday’s news.
I would have thought Seattle was immune to Mr. Springsteen, too. But as I recall, when I was a babysitting teenager, one family’s CD collection was, like, nearly half Bruce Springsteen albums. I think they even possessed two copies of Born to Run. And at the time, CDs were still newfangled sorts of things. So that meant these albums weren’t holdovers from college days, not youthful musical indiscretions. Oh, no. They purchased them as parents. I feel bad for their kid. I feel bad for the economy that the article’s about, too. And, uh, I feel bad for the editor for the unfortunate juxtaposition that photo and headline on the Sunday newspaper.

I don’t mean to be too in your face, but I’m not sure I agree with this. Anyhow, thanks for sharing and I think I’ll come to this blog more often.
