I can’t seem to help myself when it comes to The Boss. There’s just something magnetic about him. Maybe it’s because I don’t really like modern day Cougar and Billy Joel is pretty terrible now and John Denver and died. But maybe it’s because Springsteen is still good. He’s still good in a way that actually matters. His music is gripping and tragic and heart wrenchingly real. Sometimes, yes, he leans a bit too heavily on patriotism and rhetoric, but in the end his songs feel like they are honest, rough and tumble, struggling working man instant classics. And I just can’t help myself.
mp3 : Bruce Springsteen – The Wrestler
Yes this is the title track from the soundtrack to the film The Wrestler (amazon) (itunes). No I have yet to see it. I also haven’t seen The Hangover or Slumdog Millionaire yet either so get off my back.
