Bruce Springsteen, We are alive...


After reading the cover story in the new Rolling Stone I've come to appreciate the new albums lyrics in a whole new light. After weeks of listening in the car only two or three tracks blew me away, to religious and Irish sounding for me as well as over produced. Having bought the vinyl its a whole new ball of wax (bad pun intended).
Not since Another side of Bob Dylan has an album had the political impact to me as this one. When I played We are alive on my stereo I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Where does a man find it in his soul to write such a song? Rocky road gave me goosebumps when the girl started rapping and Land of hope and dreams is as good as it gets. I wonder what Bob Dylan thinks of this new album. If you know him ask him for me.

I am assuming you are talking about "Wrecking Ball", the new Bruce Springsteen album?

I have listened to this three times through, on three different days. I really didn't care for it. Sorry, but the last few Springsteen albums just haven't been my cup of tea I'm afraid.

He's a great talent and I love his earlier stuff.
