[gabby garcia]

6. Obama was born to run...

..and win!!

[Ken Burch]

7. You mentioned Elton John songs and left out "Burn Down The Mission"?

It'd be a great anthem to use against the religious right.

Or "Border Song", which can be used to talk about both bigotry and the immigration issue.

[Jersey Devil]

8. but "I'm in love with a Jersey Girl", sha la la sha la la la

For 38 years now, so here's to my very special Jersey Girl

[Ken Burch]

13. I'll second that!

My favorite Springsteen song.

I voted for "Thunder Road". The acoustic version on the 1986 live album is haunting.

[MadBadger]

14. I just had to respond...Hiding on the BACKSTREETS, Hiding on the backstreets

[Hissyspit]

15. Interesting that the Clinton campaign was using Springsteen's "Land of Hope and Dreams"

before Springsteen's endorsement. I guess they aren't using it anymore?

16. rodeodance using "glory days" is ironic

maybe she likes springsteen even though he`s an obama guy...i`ll have to ask her if they show up in madison will she go..

17. elton`s first albums were really really good

but at a certain point he just mailed in his music. i saw him during his first us concert and he "rocked the joint".


"And you ain't seen nothing till you've been
In a motel baby like the Holiday Inn"

"mad man across the water"

[newmajority]

19. My theory with both Elton John and Neil Diamond

Anything they put out on UNI records was great. When that label went under, neither of them were the same.



Hey, I got that record!

[Harry Monroe]

18. "The E Street Shuffle"

Off the album "The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle". I especially like the live version off the album "Hammersmith Odeon, London '75". Listen to the two versions and except for the same lyrics, you wouldn't even know it was the same song!! Steven Van Zandt's guitar work on the live version is simply amazing!!!
