"And everything else is crap

I don't care who you are, that is a beautiful man (and a beautiful hat) Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Much has happened since last we spoke. There were so many fearing that the Harley Davidson Gig, a move that was viewed by many as unpure to the Springsteen character, aligning oneself with a corporation so explicitly, would be the last hurrah for The E Street Band. But you young and mighty tramps (ha, the only folks genuinely worried were old and quite weak in the legs), no don't you fret, we know the future, and we know what's gonna happen just YET because, it's true, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band are playing the NFL's Superbowl Half-Time Show, brought to you by Bridgestone Tires! All is well on E Street™ No one believes more fervently in the power of what this man can do with his band and with his crowd when given the stage, but this is going to be the one to beat: Send your prayers to Nils. He's worn his hips down to literally nothing for us, playing for us, flipping, jumping, and exerting fingers and feet and everything in-between for us, and he's got to fix those hips now. But don't worry, he'll be back as early as February 1st. In news that would come with my grandmother's seal of disapproval, Bruce is also putting on a free show in Philly for Obama. I need to investigate exactly how I feel about this further. I think it mostly has to do with how I like to think of God and, of course, Jesus Christ. There was this book I read part of called "How Would Jesus Vote" and shortly before I set the pages on fire after pooping on them, I thought that I wouldn't want to associate God with a political party. I feel like God is too big to fit inside something as narrow as a box on a ballot. And, similarly to this, I like to think that about Bruce. The American character he speaks of in his music, vivid, complicated, and resilient, seems simply too large for the Democratic party. It seems too large for the Republican party. Nonetheless...
