I know the general consensus on this network is that Bruce's last
album, Nebraska, is thumbs down, but I happened to like it.  I thought
it was creative and a little gutsy and I enjoyed the album as a whole.
I don't think that I am alone in my opinion because I am almost sure it 
was voted Best Album of 1984 by Rolling Stone Magazine.

I also don't think Dancing in the Dark is all that bad.  I am not 
jumping up and down with excitement over it but I'm still looking
forward to the release of the album.  I don't ever think it's fair to
judge an album by one song.  The assumption that the song released as
a single is always the best one on the album is totally off base.  I
think alot of artists have one or two songs on an album aimed at the
pop radio audience, and I see nothing wrong with that.  I am still not
convinced that Springsteen is losing it!  Does anybody else share my
sentiments?  Let's not be so hard on him till we have the album.
