LMAO good one.

I never claimed to have ventured into the music industry.

then again I never mopped floors for a living either
But I have been around music and musicians most of my life.
I come from a long line of musicians or the music profession dating back to my great great grandmother. My sister and I are the first generation of my family not to have been involved in music on a professional or semi professional level other then for the pure enjoyment of listening to it.

But being around musicians and with music having been such a large part of ones life you learn to recognize talent.

Springstein was good. But he isnt GREAT.
His band was far more talented musically then he was vocally

I have great musical talent, along with a bunch of other talents. I'm just talented at almost everything I do.

I'd consider Bruce Springstien lucky. He's a crappy singer and his songs all suck. He got very lucky.

I always thought Bruce Springsteen and Jimi Hendrix had good singing voices, set them apart. They can't hit a note? Their voices are crackled and smoky? Maybe that's how their music is.

And i'm pretty sure it's Springsteen with 2 E's.

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All that you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All that you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
beg, borrow or steal
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat
everyone you meet
All that you slight
everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
There is no dark side of the moon really.
Matter of fact it's all dark.

Some of the best poetry this side of Dylan.

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

Well, Pink Floyd anyway. I think the critic was right on about Styx and a parking lot full of whale vomit.

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto!

you mean The Boob?

he, like many, let fame and fortune distort his reality into thinking we care what he thinks about anything other than his latest greatest hits album ...

To give an example of how enormously popular Pink Floyd is, there "Dark Side of the Moon" cd stayed on the Billboard charts for an unbelievable 14 years!!!

There is nothing that even comes close to that record.

In 1976 they played Ivor Wynn stadium where they debued "Wish You Were Here". There was approx. 100,000 people on this hot swealtering day from Canada, NY, Il, Mi, Pa etc. I remember the local beer store being sold out by early afternoon and the local kids having a blast collecting all the empty bottles and returning them for cash.

Concert was about 3.5 hours long starting with the soon to be released WYWH album, then a break, (now it's dark out) and then an entire set playing DSOM in which they blew up a million dollar score board by accident when the plane crashed into the stage*, then another break and a return to finish the show with Meddle.

Unquestionably the best concert of my life.

*they cancelled all concert at Ivor Wynn for about 15 years after that show, until Rush played there in the late 80's or early 90's.
