Message-ID: <488@opus.UUCP> Date: Thu, 17-May-84 03:07:42 EDT Article-I.D.: opus.488 Posted: Thu May 17 03:07:42 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 18-May-84 07:23:19 EDT Organization: NBI, Boulder Lines: 13 I've recently heard a fairly new Springsteen song, called "Pink Cadillac" I believe, that has got to represent an all-time low. It uses all of about four notes in the entire song; the combination of beat and melody make it more boring than a politician's speech to the DAR. NOW, I'm not a Springsteen fan but I don't particularly dislike him. The content of his music seems to lie more in the lyrics and/or the presentation than the musical quality. But this latest offering is just so droning that I find it hard to listen to. Is there some hidden social comment, or is it just bad? -- ...A friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
