    Eddie Vedder and his wife went to see Bruce on Broadway last Saturday  (11/10)
    Also took his mom last April.
    Sweet! Who cares? Eddie has already proven to like some bad music in the past. 
    Except in this case, when he proves that he knows the greatest lyricist in modern music history (along with Dylan).  
    Oh, how exciting. You didn’t say he went with Paul McCartney!!!
    Paul's up there, but for those of us that love the US, we can identify with the Americana themes in his music.  Maybe you don't love America, but that's cool. 
    I hate Bruce’s America. It’s boring as hell
    So who's America do you like?
    You know I wasn’t just talking about his music right? So are you asking me whose music I like?

    What musicians depiction of America do you like. If I interpret you correctly about hating Bruce's America.

    No your aren’t interpreting me correctly. I don’t like Bruce’s music. And mrussel1 was having some fun with my opinion and claiming it’s unamerican. So I joked back :)

    I meant I don’t like an america with Bruce’s music. Not because of his lyrics etc but because I don’t like his music.

    Haha, okey. 

    I saw it as you not liking Bruce's portrayl of America in his lyrics and instead favour N.W.A's or something. hehe.

    The best songwriters put down lyrics about what they know and  their experience. It's what separates the great ones from the rest. 
  • I loved reading this thread! Buck, you rock- fuck Bruce, his music is a dumpster fire and no one cares what he says.

    And by the way you shoot like me, you put too much finger on the trigger.  Lay off a bit and exhale before each shot.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Expect that his last tour in 14 was the highest grossing tour in the world that year... but sure no one cares.

    Who is the better shot: buck or roles? I could see Mrussel rocking the ancient flintlock at a range and picking off a fly at 300 yards lol.

    I'm a decent shot, but not like that.  I'd use my 30-30 marlin.

    I need a lever action!  They hold 7 or 8 shots?  I only fired a lever action once and it was bad ass.  The John Wayne in me definitely appeared lol

    only six.  Mine was manufactured in the 70's I believe.  Maybe they hold more now, but mine is six I believe.

    And yes, lever action is great.  A .30-30 is really a great hunting rifle, although I abhor hunting to be honest.

    I think a Winchester or marlin .30-30 is my next rifle. Such a sweet gun.

    I have a Henry 45lc lever action golden boy- love it.  Actually have t been to the range in prob a year though, I tend to only go these days when a friend visits from NY or Boston and wants to shoot.  It’s a super fun gun though, makes you feel like Jon Wayne

    And a common criticism of PJ is that the music is sort of boring...like Bud Light or something.  And face it...fans from day 1 are no longer young.

    Didn't the police union ban its members going to his shows (or something) after American Skin (41 shots). Seems people care.

    Sounds like your basing your perception on your own political opinions or whatever.

    Focus on Metroid Prime 4 releasing on the Switch next year instead.
