Well, Springsteen was a Republican during the 80's. As of 2000, he is on the dark side of democraps. On the musical tip, the remasters featuring the Plangent Process are quite excellent.
Bill Chinook / Bruce Springsteen
Has anyone ever heard Bruce Springsteen mention Bill Chinook? Bill was a "founder" of early E Street Band w/ some members joining up w/ Bruce's band. He was making that Asbury sound before Bruce, but I have never heard "the Boss" mention him. I may be partial to him because he settled up here in Maine way back in the 1970's and played often in the bars and dance halls. And released a couple excellent albums, Dime Store Heroes is one of my favorites.
