I don't like him either. But I crack up whenever I see him and Courteney trying to dance... and failing miserably.
On a Springsteen related note, am I the only one who dies laughing when he starts singing in the "We Are The World" video? He's really "feeling" the song.

This song was alright. Not one I'd like to still be hearing all the time, though, once in a while's good.

:o What kind of Jersey boy are you! Anyway, this song isn't anything great to me. My favorite Bruce songs are "Born To Run, "I'm Goin' Down" and more recently, "Mary's Place" and "Waitin' For A Sunny Day." |

Not my favorite Bruce song, but the flip side of the original 7 inch single was Pink Cadillac, which Natalie Cole ruined for a big hit in the late 80s.
I know there aren't many Springsteen fans on these boards, but you can't deny someone effortlessly selling out 500,000 tickets for a 10 nite stand at Giants Stadium and having a 2 million selling album 30+ years into his career.
I idolize Bruce.

Nothing remarkable about this song; in fact quite ordinary, even boring. But I loved the flip side, "Pink Cadillac". I didn't care for the songs on Born in the USA. I liked him better as his popularity subsided. My favorite song by him is "Tunnel of Love".

That dancing was the second worst I've ever seen from a performer, behind Clay Aiken on AI.
This song is okay. "Glory Days" is better than this one, my favorite by the Boss. His politics, I can't stand, but that is another topic.

For some reason, I never get tired of listening to "Dancing In the Dark". It's such a good song to me. And who'd ever thought the girl dancing in the video would end up being a big TV star.

One of my favorite Springsteen songs. This, and the one that has the line, "I wake up with the sheets soaking wet." ;)

Brian DePalma directed the video. He also directed "Carrie" the movie.

I was so mad that Dancing in the Dark didn't go to #1. Purple Rain kept it from getting there >:(

Actually, it was "When Doves Cry" that edged Bruce out of #1. "Purple Rain" also got the shaft on Billboard, by "Carribbean Queen", I think.
Both of the above songs, however, did make it to #1 on R&R.

When I first heard that song, I thought that was Joe Cocker singing (the first line of the second chorus). Bruce sings near the end of the song, too. |

This is one of the first songs that I ever burned myself out on, and the first that I "unburned out" on... I actually ended up liking the flip of this "Pink Cadillac" and "Cover Me" more...
I saw him at the Coliseum in L.A... an amazing show... the only other concert that I thought was close to as good as his was Journey.
It's too bad he had to get all political on us... there is a right way and a wrong way to be political and unfortunately he went about it the wrong way... and lost a lot of fans as a result... nothing like what the Dixie Chicks did, but still he still lost a good chunk of his fanbase (me included) when he went off like he did... He should have consulted fellow New Jerseyian, Jon Bon Jovi, on how to go about it the right way...

the "blaster mix" of this song rocks! ;) Arthur Baker did a fantastic job with his remix. I like that certain instruments are played up and the drums are a little louder but for the most part, it's the original. I listen to the edit of that mix from the 12" called the Radio Mix regularly. |
