I've always felt he was something of a sacrificial lamb for the band. The summer of '94 was nutso for everyone (especially Ed) with the death of Cobain, the Ticketmaster thing heating up and the band's allergic reaction to stardom reaching it's apex. Somebody had to get the axe and Dave was the obvious choice: "Let's blame Dave for all our communication problems. OK Bye Dave!"

Yeah I've just figured it was something had to give, and it ended up being Dave. And as for why ed didn't like him, who knows, there's been people I've flat out just can't stand for no reason, hate the way they talk, hate the way they move, hear them breathe and I think fuck this guy. Or maybe Dave was a bit of an assole towards ed too Idk, I haven't read/ seen enough about him to get a read on his personality.

Good to know.

Has ed ever said anything about him outside of what's alluded to in some songs and the odd things like 'the bastard that married my momma' ?

there's something in the pj20 book (i think) about Bruce Springsteen convincing him in 2004 to make up with his step dad for the good of hos family. so he did it cos a famous guy he likes told him to.

I've never read it

you should, stip. there's information in there not available anywhere else.

i suspect I've heard most of it on here at some point. I'm actually not super into all that backstory stuff, at least not to the point that I'd be willing to make time to read it. I have you to tell me what I need to know

Surely, there's no better reason to do something!

Didn't he also start listening to BO'B because Springsteen told him to?

Fuckin Bruce.

Getting Eddie to let go of decades old resentment instead of letting it fester and listen to cheese o'Brien. He's why we got backspacer instead of vitalogy mark 2!

Should I start the "General Springsteen Bitching" thread?

We can just use the BoB bitching thread. The BoB and fuckin Bruce bitching thread.

Enough of the excuses. You're just afraid you'll see everything in a new light and suddenly hate The Fixer and love Faithfull.

I don't hate it. I think it's average.

I know. It's a perfect rock song. Maybe better than perfect. Anyone have a word for that?
