Ah, rediscovery. 40 million accounts on BlueSky but one that lets you escape. @softtail65.bluesky.social

Bruce Springsteen - Darlington County (from Born In The U.S.A. Live: London 2013) YouTube video by BruceSpringsteenVEVO

Another rough week here. Let’s just ride down to “Darlington County”-Bruce

“Girl you're looking at two big spenders,
Why the world don't know what me and Wayne might do.
Our pa's each own one of the World Trade Centers,
For a kiss and a smile, I'll give mine all to you.”

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - You're Missing (Live In Barcelona) YouTube video by BruceSpringsteenVEVO

One of his most lovely songs. Applies to 9/11 but applies to…life. “You’re Missing,” Bruce Springsteen.

“Bare any relationship…”:

Hey Liddle’ Scump: I know who WON’T be writing a book: you. You spell like you smell. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER, you racist rapist.

KINGS? No.
BOSSES? YES

I could eat a bowl of Alpha-Bits, and sh*t out something that made more sense than that.

You bet!…and likewise. Some long travels ahead and as Jimmy Cliff sang, there are “Many rivers to cross.” But we’ll get there, right?

❤️🔥❤️ don’t even know her but I love her.

He used the biggest platform he has to deliver a message that needed to be heard. Live, at halftime of a championship BASKETBALL game. On a network owned by David Ellison! This was perfectly & sanely expressed given his parameters: he likely broke format to do this. No other host even tries this.

I think Nicklaus can feel pretty secure about now that woods won’t break his record of 18 majors.

Woods an example of a guy who his sycophants have all been afraid to step up and tell him he has a problem

Don’t tease me like that! Now I’ll be bummed out if that doesn’t happen!

I’m not the smartest guy but even I noticed 🙂

Morally and financially. Quite the doubleheader. He must be so proud of himself.

At minimum I hope they choke on a Cinnabon. At maximum I hope they wander around the runways.

Team Blue didn’t forget, led by you!

Team Red didn’t forget either…they just didn’t care. (They don’t care about many things.)

He usually is! Especially compared to the Orange Vermin. Then again it would be like saying someone is smarter than my couch. Low bar.

Then again my couch is smarter than the Vermin. Then again, again, I need to keep JD Vance away from it!

is he wearing a Kevlar vest? They love those. In case someone in an airport shoots them, I guess. Which is part of their job, to make sure no one has a gun in an airport. That guy has a very punchable face. Maybe that’s why they like the masks. Because their faces radiate evil.

I actually never did…

Amen to that

Oh please please, I’m with you. He represents my state and he is an embarrassment. He wasn’t made for these times. He is a reason we come off as weak and befuddled.

“ABC Vetting Reaches Trumpian Levels”

“This Life.” Bruce Springsteen, from the album “Working on a Dream.”

FACTS

I LOVE the people of BlueSky. I HATE what the subhuman cretin has made us live, fight & uncover. There are so many talents we would love to share.

Yet our work here is curdling but necessary.

LET HELL TORTURE this rancid figure for so much: including limiting the skills & time we offer others.

So juvenile & deranged to be an old adult & make stupid “nickname” insults for others. It’s the least of his mental issues. It’s IGNORED by media but would get any of us fired. NO dignity. NO RESPECT for Americans. Yes: down the list of his corruption, crime & destruction. The worst American.

I agree with every syllable! Sometimes doing what is right is like “unilateral disarmament.” I can’t believe I ever had to say that in my lifetime. Bur here we are!

Monica takes the edge off of reading BlueSky! we need that at times.

Outside Looking In YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen - Topic

“outside looking in,” Springsteen, “The Promise,” 2010. (Outtakes album. song recorded but not used on “Darkness” album.

I’d argue it deserved to be on a real release…not a “basement tapes.” it’s good.
