This is the hardest as I have 4-5 directions to go in. I know that most won't come back around.

It's ok. Reading it, I got the idea that he was writing it from the point of view of a guy that was immensely important to the fabric of rock 'n' roll and knew it. It didn't make me any more a fan.durdencommatyler wrote:How is that book?wease wrote:I went through his whole discography late last year as I was reading his book.durdencommatyler wrote:Oh me either.

In the fields of the lord
Stood Abel and Cain
Cain slew Abel 'neath the black rain
At night he couldn't stand the guilt or the blame
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
Billy got drunk, angry at his wife
He hit her once, he hit her twice
At night he'd lie in bed, he couldn't stand the shame
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
Pa told me "Son, one thing I know is true
Poison snake bites you, you're poison too"
At night I can feel that poison runnin' 'round my veins

I don't know how smart is was waiting till the third round to pick my favorite Bruce song especially since I have no idea which songs are and aren't valued by his fans. Still I had a feeling it could last....maybe even now it's a stretch...or maybe it was a miracle it lasted...I really have no idea....but for me it's the best...Two Hearts.

I'm glad I grabbed it now then. I'm pretty happy I've gotten three out of my top four wish list picks.

I heard this thing for the first time today, if you can believe it. And I was blown the entire fuck away. This thing is magnificent. I put it at the top of my list after listening to it three times in a row.

Wow, nice run of picks. No joke, my list for this round was either Gave it a Name, Two Hearts, Jackson Cage, or [song that hopefully lasts til next round].
