Springsteen
Re: Springsteen
I can see why a hardcore fan might reject that sort of overt metaphor-deploying. A big part of Springsteen fandom is diving deeply into his most inscrutable and dense lyrics sheets, mining for hidden truths. And here Bruce is all Squeeze my lemon, Baby! Watch the juice drip down my leg! Figure that one out, dorks! Daddy has a TV show and he needs something superficial and gratifying!
Got my hair cut correct like Anthony Mason

269. Here's one I never heard till just now. "30 Days Out" is the flip side of the "Leap of Faith" single from Human Touch and dates from the same sessions. Bruce in this era has grown on me some; I actually admire him for leaving the band and trying a different approach to explore another side even if that side could be described as contemporary and for adults. Ranked #293
The chorus lead-in reminds me of "You're on the Wrong Side of the Street" (#250, you'll surely recall, December 10)
