wait he made a movie about the album?

Sure did. That trailer gave me goosebumps. I could listen to Bruce talk all day.

fascinating

You are not a fan of this?

I have no opinion either way. I just think coming off of the Broadway run and the Netflix special of the Broadway run, plus the way the new record sounds, it's super interesting that he's doing this.

I'm struggling to think of another performing artist whose work I admire greatly, but whose persona I find endlessly annoying. Maybe Kurt Cobain?

Man, totally agree on this with Springsteen. Cobain was still in his 20s so he gets a pass from me.

I'm a little over his biography/life philosophy voice overs, but am so there for the performances.

I will say it's the first time I thought he sounded old on that voice over.

Starting to think western stars is a top 5 Bruce album

It’s really fantastic. Probably wouldn’t put it top 5 but possibly top 10. That period from Greetings through Born in the USA is just too good.

I noticed that too. The encroaching frailty there was even more distinct thanks to the theater sound system when they played the trailer before Blinded by the Light.

Bruce may have recognized a while back the way that Neil’s back-and-forth allowed him to take breaks from specific creative outlets, refreshing one while others take center stage.

I think he's saying that Bruce Springsteen has been dropping hints about at new "really good rock band record" with E Street Band.

I think it's past the point of hints. He's clearly stated that he has songs written for a new record and will definitely tour.

I can't wait!!!

If Bruce releases an album of decent quality next year he will have notable releases in six consecutive decades. Incredible.

He's just the fucking best. His commitment to his craft is beyond admirable. In his book he was discussing the creation of Tom Joad and how he had partners and a team to help him research various issues of the west he wanted to discuss on the album. He mentioned something (i forget exact story details) of sending one of them out to New Mexico and doing some research for him.

That kind of blew my mind someone would take that much effort into crafting songs and stories as a musician. Imagine Ed being that committed?

Hey those wave references don’t come cheap!

I put the song Western Stars on a "sort of country/alt. country/country adjacent" mix that I made. And I get excited every time it comes on. It's a pretty great song. It's amazing how subtle it is and how it sneaks up on me.

It and Hello Sunshine are top tier Bruce.

If we ever did another Bruce draft n tourney I'd be curious where these new songs would get drafted

Strat · **Posted:** Wed September 18, 2019 4:05 pm

Anytime "Moonlight motel" comes on i have to listen to it at least three times in a row.

Bruce Springsteen
