But Mr. Springsteen said the decision was made too hastily. “We were in the middle of doing a lot of things, it kind of came down and, really, we didn’t vet it the way we usually do,” he said. “We just dropped the ball on it.” Instead of offering the exclusive collection to Wal-Mart, “given its labor history, it was something that if we’d thought about it a little longer, we’d have done something different.” He added, “It was a mistake. Our batting average is usually very good, but we missed that one. Fans will call you on that stuff, as it should be.”
I’m not sure if that’s exactly an apology, but it’s certainly an admission that, well, he fucked up.
Do I care where he sells his CD’s? No…
Do I care that that song’s verse bears a resemblance to a KISS song? Nope…
There’s some good tunes on the next disc. I’m tired of this shit. I’m going back to being all about the music. This Paris Hilton-type celebrity make/break shit is for the birds. As long as his (and other artists) music talks to me – I’m listening.
f walmart too.
Here’s a question I have asked in many circles without a good response. Why do they call Bruce “the Boss”. I’ve never been a huge fan of his, I don’t dislike him by any means just wondering how that moniker got started and the rationale behind it
Gotta love wikipedia…
“In the late 1960s, Springsteen performed briefly in a power trio known as Earth, playing in clubs in New Jersey. Springsteen acquired the nickname “The Boss” during this period as when he played club gigs with a band he took on the task of collecting the band’s nightly pay and distributing it amongst his bandmates.[7] Springsteen, however, has never liked this nickname, due to his dislike of bosses.”
