Apparently they hate
Bruce "The Boss' Springsteen:
- He’s old.
- He sucks.
- He sucks because he’s old.
- He’s old because he sucks.
- He sings about being a member of the working class even though he’s made millions and millions of dollars over the past 30 years
- “Born in the USA” sucks.
So to those born between the releases of “Tunnel of Love” and “Tom
Joad”: please Spotify “The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle.” Get
“Darkness on the Edge of Town” while you’re at it (though you can skip
“Candy’s Room”), and “Born to Run,” and “Nebraska,” and “The Rising.”
Watch a few of his shows on YouTube, then look me in the eye and tell me
he doesn’t fit into your life, somehow; that he doesn’t make you feel
exhilarated and overwhelmed and joyful and heartbroken and hot-blooded
and alive. Because the next time Bruce asks me, “Is there anybody alive
out there?” I don’t want to be lying on behalf of my generation when I
shout back, “Yes.”
Of course, it's perfectly natural for youngsters
(a varicose vein in my leg just popped, yes) to not give a shit about some dude who's 100 years, old, as we saw a while back
when Marley took Marley 2.0 to a Bruce show. Money quote:
10:03pm - Marley Jr: "No, really. How much of this do you think we have left?"
"Millenials suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!"
