I was tempted by this one today, but – thankfully – I decided on this instead.
I had a chat with my friend (in-a-distant-networked-sort-of-way) Scott (who persists in lecturing me on the merits of Paul McCartney and forcing me – yes, FORCING ME to listen to the stuff) the other day about levels of maturity and I came to the conclusion that
a) I’ve never matured
b) I’m really only chronologically gifted
and
c) that I’ve never really grown up.
Which segues us nicely into Springsteen live in Dublin.
Listen to this album and you’ll realise that Springsteen is truly a folk singer, relating stories of his life in the same way that the miners in West Virginia or the sailors of the New England coastline did of theirs.

Growin’ Up – David Bowie from Pinups


>I’ve never heard this Bowie version. Have you heard Bowie’s version of “It’s Hard To Be A Saint In The City”? Apparently, Bruce wasn’t all that thrilled with it at the time. I wonder what Mr. Springsteen would say about it now that he’s gone through his own period of experimentation.Nice posting, John. As always.
