2. Joe Strummer Said So
In 1994 Joe Strummer was asked by the producer of a TV documentary called Bruce Springsteen: A Secret History what he thought of Springsteen. He replied via fax with a handwritten letter; Bruce is great If you dont agree with that youre a pretentious Martian from Venus. Bruce looks great Like hes about to crawl underneath the chords with a spanner and & sock the starter motor one time so that a engine starts up humming & ready to take us on a golden ride way out somewhere in the yonder Bruce is great Because hell never lay down & be conquered by his problems. Hes always ready to bust out the shack and hit the track His music is great on a dark & rainy morning in England. Just when you need some spirit & some proof that the big wide world exists, the D.J. puts on Racing in the Streets & life seems worth living again Life seems to be in Cinemascope again. Bruce is not on an ego trip Bruce is actually into the music We need people like this A lot of records today are made by people just to feed their fame. Bruce is great There aint no whinging whining or complaining.. Theres only great music, lyrics & an ocean of talent. Me? I love Springsteen!!! How can you argue with that? Read the actual letter
