marvin Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 It's gettting some strong reaction (positive and negative) from the Springsteen fans. The ones who don't like it speak of it's closeness to "Message In A Bottle" and "867-5309", and it's so-so lyrics. The ones who do like it speak of it's driving, 'rock' sound.

Marc Nathan Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 If the Rubinoos can sue Avril Lavigne (and not think that the Rolling Stones can sue them...) then I see no reason why Tommy Tutone shouldn't do a phone number check on his attorney.

John P Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I give it credit for being very modern sounding but it sure doesn't blow away anything from BTR or River. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 It's a very different Bruce Springsteen that writes in 2007 from the one that wrote 33 years ago ("Born to Run") or 27 years ago ("The River"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozmik Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Sounds more like Warren Zevon's "Splendid Isolation" than Tommy Tutone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvin Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 From BACKSTREETSQUOTE:ROCKING ROCKEFELLER PLAZABruce & the E Street Band live on Today, Sept. 28In 2002, to celebrate the release of The Rising, NBC's Today show pulled up their tent stakes and traveled to Asbury Park. This time, Bruce and the E Street Band make the trip. Their Rockefeller Plaza performance on the morning of September 28, the Friday before the album's release, will be broadcast live on Today. According to today's press release, "In their live concert on the Plaza, Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform songs from their October 2 Columbia Records release Magic as well as classic hits." More details as we have them.ENDQUOTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 The 'real' video for "Radio Nowhere" comes out in a few days, but the 'temporary' video on YouTube has had 32,998 views.Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I love Bruce. I can spout my Bruce fan credentials...but lets just say I have seen Bruce more times than anyone on this board. Plus I saw the Raspverries in 1973 But anyway...Bruce has always "borrowed" rifts and lines and titles from others. The NYT review of BTR noted the IWBWY lift for BTR. He directly lifted several raspberries titles.I like the new song...but yeah...it sounds like 867-5309. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor4Life Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Just read in the paper yesterday that Tommy Heath of Tommt Tutone is mulling his options of whether to sue Bruce or not. To me, it sounded like he was half joking about it though...Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I hear a bit of "867-5309" in the intro chords of "Radio Nowhere", but not in the melody of the verse or the chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmichel Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I love the song...But the video seems to be lit in order to highlight every wrinkle on Springsteen's face...But maybe that's the look Bruce was going for...road worn and craggy.

marvin Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 The album cover for "Magic" certainly doesn't do Bruce any favors - it looks like a mug shot. For a guy who puts out fabulous albums, his album covers (save "Born to Run") certainly leave something to be desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save for "Greetings from Asbury Park" all of his albums have just been a no-frills shot of him. Columbia/Sony must love him for keeping the expense of thier art department down through the years!Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
