I don't what started it last night, but I felt like I really needed to hear some Bruce before I went to sleep. Started with "I'm on Fire", then "Rosalita", and "Growin' Up". Continuing today with the whole of "Greetings from Asbury Park" (incidentally, one of the first cassettes I owned) and the rest of Rhapsody's top tracks. I'm particularly partial to "Lost in the Flood" and "Spirit in the Night", and oh man, "Thunder Road" just started. That song is awesome too! It contains one of my favorite classic rock lines. Could anyone else get away with saying "You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright!"
I added "I'm Going Down" to my list of favorite Bruce songs last fall after hearing Vampire Weekend cover it at the Greek Theater (best concert I went to in 2010, hands down). Sometimes that fresh take helps you really appreciate the original, though the VW version was pretty sharp too.
