PinkH, I believe this "drift" has been going on for about 8 years or so...

That's enough guys, you're making me emotional..........

Great review! When someone writes that music has saved their life, I immediately feel a connection; it’s a bit of what happened to me, too.

Paolafrancesca, you really understand us......... "big babies," though....

A necessary premise: once upon a time, reviews like this one (like Cimmino's excellent ones, for example) went straight to the waste bin because they didn’t talk about an album but rather discussed this and that. That being said, MadameDu, you are always delightful in your reviews... except for this one!!! I’ll say right away why: I honestly don’t understand what’s wrong with getting emotional listening to a cartoon theme song. What’s the problem with remembering a cartoon? Doesn’t it also belong to childhood? Why, according to your theory, should one, as they grow up, amputate the part of themselves that still gets emotional at the theme of Dolce Remì? Should we kill off the child within us once and for all? When, alone, in front of the internet, listening to Heidi and imagining themselves with a slice of bread and Nutella in front of a giant TV with their little brother? Should I definitively drown these memories that resurface with the help of a theme song? To do what? Then? To become an adult? I’d say to become old, almost dead. But maybe you’re talking about immature men. I believe that, in this case, judging by the cartoon theme song is absolutely misleading and incorrect.

For the two "guys" above who don't find it "rock" at all or "light" or because it's lacking "substance." Well... would albums like Born to Run, Darkness, or The River be lacking substance? And Nebraska? And The Ghost of Tom Joad and... and...? Come on, maybe you meant in these recent live performances? Let's clarify, then. Because saying that Springsteen isn't rock or that there's no substance is to ridicule the rock genre. Of course, I can agree that singing Born to Run at sixty takes away some of its meaning... but in the end, who the hell cares if it brings us the same enjoyment as it did thirty years ago (it does for me)?
To Primiballi: the review is a bit too exaggerated. This is a nice live performance, but it’s definitely not the best official live album, let alone in terms of tours. You know very well that, for example, "BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND - Hammersmith Odeon London '75" is much more solid. Let's not even talk about the legendary bootlegs "LIVE IN THE PROMISED LAND" from 1978 at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic or "PIECE DE RESISTANCE" from that same unbeatable 1978 tour. I believe the truth lies in between: this is indeed a good live performance, but not the best.

And by the way punny: your second review has disappeared forever even from the de-cases... there's clearly a conspiracy going on among the "Wise of DeBaser" despite Kosmo stubbornly denying it.....

Gnagnera, I see you're up to date with a lot of news... what do you know about Area 51 and Bigfoot?
