The Beach Boys with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Beach Boy trivia: Though surfing was a prominent theme in many of the Beach Boys' early songs, Dennis Wilson was the only original member who surfed. "Kokomo" was the Beach Boys' first hit in 20 years and ended up being their biggest selling single. Paul McCartney once said that "God Only Knows" was the most beautiful pop song ever written.

OK, OK, Bruce used to live two doors down from my Uncle Dave in Holmdel,NJ ...yes, I admit I'm an old Monmouth County boy from Jersey; if you're from Texas you live and die Willie, if you're from Monmouth County, NJ, it's Bruuuuuccccee. I don't expect too many kids to attend this event, but I imagine he picked up a few new fans with his latest angsty opus. The show will be great and loud and emotional, but there is one thing that kinda' disappoints me about the Boss. Despite Jon Landau's blustery pronouncement that Bruce was the future of rock and roll, I don't believe he has made a REAL rock and roll album. He came as close as he ever could with The River, but that damn Woody Guthrie/Bound For Glory/Anti-Goldwater/proletariat speak has been gettin' in the way of him ever making any kind of good rock and roll album. Bruce and Little Steven need to take about a month off together in a Memphis two-roomer with about a dozen crates of beer, a couple of iPods full of Doc Pomus, Gary U.S. Bonds, Chuck Berry and Little Richard tunes, greasy burgers, fries and shakes and no C-SPAN or CNN or FOX NEWS, in fact NO TV OR INTERNET and just soak up the Beale Street scene, even if is touristy now, and just make a great goddam ROCK AND ROLL album. This political angst stuff, even Dylan stopped; just make a sexy fun record Bruce, like you were meant to do.

He did. It was called Born in the USA. Yeah, yeah, he lamented Vietnam but still it was the closest he came to an unabashed rock record. He's always loved his horns but they don't get int he way of him rocking out on the title track, No Surrender, Glory Days, Darlingtown County, Dancing in the Dark, etc.

If Bruce hasn't made a real rock and roll album, please define "rock and roll" and what instruments are allowed.
Because, from where I sit typing, it could be:
1) Popular music form incorporating the music styles of rhythm and blues, gospel and country music. Yup, he done did that.
2) A type of music that emerged as a defined musical style in the Southern United States in the 1950s. It now has two distinct meanings, either traditional rock and roll in the 1950s style, or later rock and even pop music which may be very far from traditional rock and roll. Yup, done did that, too.
3) Rock 'n' roll: a genre of popular music originating in the 1950s; a blend of Black rhythm-and-blues with White country-and-western; "rock is a generic term for the range of styles that evolved out of rock'n'roll." Yup, done did that also.
4) "Rock and Roll Music" - a song written and originally recorded by Chuck Berry which became a hit single in 1957. Bingo - there you go -- we have a winner. He ain't done did that!
Also, it's new one on me that lyrical content is restricted in rock and roll.

Live 1975-85 is a quintessential rock album.
And if this ain't rock n' roll...
I will say that I wouldn't have called Bruce rock before I saw him live. I went to see him on the Tunnel of Love tour with much the same POV as lastangelman. But to this day, that is the greatest ROCK show I have ever seen. (That unfortunately includes the subsequent shows I've seen on the last couple tours where the energy seems more forced and less organic.)
