Bob, as always with me, you get it, you get what I am writing about regarding music, and you may differ from me (usually only by degrees) but you respond with solid reasons for that which I respect coming from you and your music slutness (i.e. vast musical love and knowledge) -like Jim you offer a very legitimate rationale for ranking the Springsteen as you do - thanks for getting me and making your case so solidly with respect for what I was saying and good words for my man in this discussion which I know are sincere,. And I think you got what Jim was saying about the Springsteen - music conversation at its best - I go to bed with a smile on your face. This is what I love the JMDL for (without getting gushy): the mutual exchange of differing informed insights presented with mutual respect.
