2023-11-07 21:00:47 +0000 UTCBabs Fockaretta (for real), a senior high girl we all considered super hot, proudly carried the Born in the USA album under her arm, as she sashayed around in her swimsuit at a swimming carnival. We thought this was so cool. Kinda still do.

2023-09-08 13:19:37 +0000 UTCGood episode but don't understand the effulgent commentary about Bruce Springsteen. To me the music was very of the time but nothing I'd ever listen to on purpose. People like what they like lol

2023-08-22 01:02:46 +0000 UTCWho’s Lauren and what podcast are you referring to? Although I couldn’t agree more. Just Like That is such has been such a buzzkill for the SATC franchise.

2023-08-21 01:10:59 +0000 UTCIt’s funny, I remember my dad played Born in the USA incessantly when it came out, but it just doesn’t hold up to me these days. Not like Songs From the Big Chair by Tears for Fears or Building the Perfect Beast by Don Henley which were also played on repeat, and I still go back to almost 40 years later. But I’m intrigued to read his book, although I know nothing about the album Nebraska. Loved the episode, including his soothing voice.

2023-08-18 10:17:13 +0000 UTCYes. Springsteen meets a writer on Tom Petty who was the Del Fuegos. I remember the Juliana Hatfield song, My Sister, and how she saw the Del Fuegos. Thanks for this.

2023-08-18 03:45:38 +0000 UTCFor some reason this made me thing Van Morrison would be a good guest. I think it brought his throw away album to mind that he made just to get out of his contract. His recent stuff has comedy value on par with the musical value of his early work. Dude is hilarious and uses his platform in a way you can't hate. "Why are you on Facebook" is an accidental modern masterpiece.

2023-08-17 00:47:09 +0000 UTCMcCartney from 1970 was probably the first lo-fi album by a major star. Much more playful and lighter than Nebraska, it still was ahead of it's time.

2023-08-16 17:16:16 +0000 UTC“Imperial Bedroom” was such a major departure in Elvis Costello’s oeuvre. There were hints on the previous album “Trust”, of the promise fulfilled on “Imperial Bedroom”. Talking about the head and the heart, do you think the difference lies in the fact that Elvis is British and Bruce is American?
