    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.

    ok ok

    NWA was spot on, particularly for that moment in time.  As was/is Bruce's..

    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.

    Only thing I expect is for him to keep making boring music for old people

    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'll ride the wave where it takes me......

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

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