what a load of sh************

 

how about some f****** dcents records Bruce?

>>>>>>> a major new book <<<<<<<<

 

Oh brother....

 

 

So now I suppose he will be enrolling in Harvard Law to become a Lawyer..since now he is an Author

 

Why didn't he make a book for Reno? Now that would be a bestseller...

 

I guess the next step is the audio book for Outlaw Pete read by the author. At the tour next year the ESB will read from the book in selected stadiums.

it is april already....

 

Now that would make a good wristband 

Outlaw Pete is a "great song"?  This is a "major new book"?

 

Seems like Bruce Springsteen is interested in everything these days except making good music.

maybe next on the list is a book about Spanish Johnny - based on incident

I've really had it.  The few nuggets of good stuff the past few years is now dwarfed by the giant pile of shit he's put out.

 

He should ask Tom Petty what it takes to make a killer late career album.

I could have easily gone the rest of my life without ever hearing or reading about that stupid song again. 

Look out for the special, behind-the-scenes DVD, "the making of Outlaw Pete: The Book" at bruceapringsteen.net!!!

"Celebrated song" ???

I've never read a press release so full of shit

Actually I liked the song live. 

 

So I put the comic book on my Amazon whish list. Hope to get it for my birthday in December...

the majority of the things Bruce Springsteen has released over the last few years have been listened to (or watched) one time, then sit on our shelf and become expensive dust magnets.  

 

 

 

Yep!

And that is exactly why I won't be getting that box set of the first albums.My ears are pretty much shot these days so I'm not wasting money on remastered albums that I'm not going to hear any better sound out of anyway.

It's going to be way to much money for stuff I already have on the shelf.

 

Much rather have a brand new cd of brand new great songs...

 

Sorry Bruce.......

Outlaw Pete, by Bruce Springsteen and Frank Caruso, is the book based on the celebrated song about a bank-robbing baby whose exploits become a meditation on sin, fate, and free will. Read the full afterword from Bruce below.

 

“The story of Outlaw Pete flows from many sources. The wild,
colorful characters of my second record, The Wild, the Innocent
& the E Street Shuffle, every Western (spaghetti or otherwise) I’ve
seen since I was a kid, and probably all the way back to the bedtime story
Brave Cowboy Bill my mom used to recite from memory to me as a child.

 

Outlaw Pete is essentially the story of a man trying to outlive and outlast
his sins. He’s challenging fate by trying to outrun his poisons, his toxicity.
Of course, you can’t do that. Where we go, they go. You can only learn to
live with it. How well or poorly we do that gauges how much grace we can
bring into our lives along with our level of fortitude in body and soul.

 

It’s not easy and I’m not sure this is a children’s book, though I believe
children instinctively understand passion and tragedy. And, a six-month-old,
bank-robbing baby is a pretty good protagonist.

 

I want to thank Frank Caruso for bringing this book to me and for his
wonderful art. Working with him was a pleasure. I also want to thank you,
the reader … and wish you well as you ride.”

 

—Bruce Springsteen

 

yea the books coming out - woopy doopy do

 

embarrasing crap Bruce - get a grip

what with that amnd the mugs and the remasters set -

#underwhelmed

#pissedoff

 

and what the hell happened to the bloody vault releases.

 

running scared eh?

I see that a little different. 

 

Lots of good live recordings (1 year old)

Wrecking Ball (2.5 years old)

The Promise (4 years old)

Darkness live video (4 years old)

 

Some of them in heavy rotation others listened from time to time. But all far away from listened/watched once and never again.

 

In parallel we got 2012 one of the best tours ever (my view) with lots and lots of really great concerts!

 

Give the man a break. He has delivered lots of great music over the last years.

 

And when I think back to 1999, from my point of view we got more than I had ever imagined in my wildest dreams during that time!

That's fine, all a matter of opinion, of course.

 

This latest 'project' just baffles me, though.  Why someone would think its a good idea to turn one of Bruce Springsteen's least inspiring, most tedious songs into a children's book is hard to fathom
