    I just listened to a long Little Steven interview and according to him he was the horn band guy playing soul music with horn bands but Bruce was a folkie who Little Steven convinced to get an electric guitar....I think his first tele was Little Stevens and after giving it to Bruce he switched to Strats and they both stuck to that style from then on.....Bruce started out trying to be a Dylan type folk singer but Little Steven was plugged into the doo wop R&B soul scene long before Bruce...Those first couple albums were really soulful R&B....I didn't care for any pop music when he first came on the radio so I got to listen to Bruce in the 80s when I was playing in cover bands...when he was popular early on I was a jazz snob...looked down on most pop music. The Police were the first band since maybe Zeppelin that I perked up to and said.....wait....what is that?

    yeah. Alot of people think of glory days and born in the usa when the think of him. Poppy crap in my opinion. He did have a huge dylan vibe early. Never knew that he was coaxed into it the big band r&b stuff by the bandmates though. Cool story.

    Everybody moved to bend, then everybody left. And now everybody is moving back.

    this.

    people are doing the same on the big island but I’ve gotten a free pass cuz everything thinks my wife is Hawaiian. House prices be cray, and they’re tired of whities. Except most of the whities are white trash.

    moral of the story: everyone moving to bend should make sure their white af and blend in.

    Trump McConnell court seems poised to overturn federal vaccine mandate despite very clear language in OSHA law.
    Court majority not interested in law or constitution, just implementing Republican policies. Even echoed antivax conspiracy mongers.
    Getting a vaccine is invasive but forcing women to carry pregnancy to term and undergoing labor and delivery in order to give birth to unwanted child at risk of her health is justified punishment for being a slut.

    Once again, what about deaths? Hospitalizations? Those are the numbers that count.

    I was born in Emanuel Hospital and spent most of my life living in Portland metro. I do love living in Tennessee, though.

    wasnt that filmed closer to your neck of the woods? Lol.

    my parents were total hippies. Tried living off the land and did fine until they had me. Then reality kicked in that they birthed a trouble child and had to move back to the city so they had help. Lol.
