I personally don't care about his politics or the soul in his sounds. I love rock music, and this song rocks. This song is meant to be blaring out of every speaker it comes across. Its a rock anthem, its meant to move you and I could only imagine how it would sound in concert. All those speakers driving the drums and riffs right through you.weirddoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619292518495074008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32134713.post-7317716963635947542007-09-05T13:49:00.000-04:002007-09-05T13:49:00.000-04:00Radio Nowhere is the kind of bland crap that Sprin...Radio Nowhere is the kind of bland crap that Springsteen blew away with Born To Run etc. He can do better than this.

I don't know why anyone would expect a 57 year old guy to produce great rock when no one else is.<BR/><BR/>People bash Bruce for his work the "last twenty years" - but other than a couple of grunge bands from the nineties, and a very few bands today, mainstream rock itself has been a wasteland the last twenty years. He's an old man. He can't write the songs he wrote when he was young and hungry. He can't carry the entire dying genre on his shoulders. He does pretty well with folk - it might not always be to my taste, but at least it shows him accepting who he is and trying to age gracefully.<BR/><BR/>What is with people who bash him from being "liberal" as if that is something new or alien to his music? He has been liberal from day one, as anyone who listens to The Wild The Innocent can deduce from the subject matter. Apparently there are a couple people who got duped by the marketing of Born in the USA and didn't realize it until now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32134713.post-88318725242490925292007-09-04T12:55:00.000-04:002007-09-04T12:55:00.000-04:00Well, while I'm not into "Radio Nowhere," I hearti...Well, while I'm not into "Radio Nowhere," I heartily disagree with your assertion. Bruce has made great music on every album since Tunnel. I could rattle off a list of a couple of dozen great ones.<BR/><BR/>And I agree with most of his politics, for whatever that's worth.Ben Lazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03135273501384239424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32134713.post-67538700130889908702007-09-04T01:43:00.000-04:002007-09-04T01:43:00.000-04:00Spot on buddy!

Since then he's been full of himself and full of shit. Riding on his past glory days, so empty he has to cop 9-11 or Seeger to say anything. All he spouts now is lib political nonsense, go watch your girls ride horses in the Hamptons BRuce, your soul ceases to rockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
