Dear Jamie,
I must like this:
I mean, right? I've been listening to it over and over again. I must actually really like it. But, darn it all, I'M(obviously) NOT SURE. I guess the question is, do I really like this, or do I just love The Boss and want other people to love The Boss and to prove said love by covering him. Or is it that I just really like Vampire Weekend's cover? Or is it that I'll take Bruce any way I can get him?
I await your thoughts.
Love,
J. Benny
Dear Jenny,
ReplyDeleteI understand why you like it. Here's what I think: I think you like the song, nay LOVE the song. Because it's awesome. It's not Vampire Weekend, it's the Boss. Here's the test. Listen to this:

Now which do you like more?
Bruce rocks it harder. I mean LOOK at the video! Where do you want to be more? Standing at the VW concert or rock'n your sweet little heart out at the Bruce concert?! I think I know the answer.
Now listen to this one:

It's also lovely. A little sweeter than the other, but still great. And still better than VW. I think.
And OK, look at THIS: http://www.clevescene.com/images/blogimages/2010/04/16/1271440473-bruce-springsteen.jpg VS this: http://themorningafterpills.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ezra-koenig.jpg
Enough said.
Thank you for brightening my day.
Love,
