A helpful reader sent this along (thanks, Colin) and I wanted to post it for all the many fans of both the Yankees and Bruce Springsteen.
The Hidden Track blog did a Yankees preview set to Bruce’s music. They did a great job, plus you get to hear some great music.

No thanks!
but thanks for the effort though. I’m anti-Bruce.
That’s pretty cool, Pete.
thanks
Never been a fan of Springsteen.
In fact, I think he’s one of the most overrated musicians in the last 30 years.
I’m not making excuses, but the announcers on ESPN mentioned that the Blue Jays had AJ Burnett taking some sort of medication to strengthen his fingernails and hair. I’m really just wondering if that’s entirely legal. I believe Burnett uses his nails to effectively throw his knuckle-curve and it would seem to me that this would be some sort of “performance-enhancer” or sorts.
i’ve never been a fan of the term “mash-up”
A-Gor > A-Rod ?
Overrated? Funny stuff. If you don’t like his music or song writing that’s one thing, but because you don’t like him he’s “overrated”. Lame.
Those who think Bruce is overrated have never listened to anything besides what he has released to the radio.
If you do not think “Greetings from Asbury Park”, “The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle”, and “Born to Run”(his first three albums) are anything less than musical genius then you simply do not know music.
Period.
Saucy,
I thought “Mash-up” is like “man-up” but instead of growing a pair you
wear bathrobes and Hawaiian shirts, crack-wise and vigorously question authority.
I don’t know music because I don’t care for Bruce Springsteen?
That’s hilarious.
But saying he’s overrated because you don’t care for him isn’t hilarious?
Boy did this make my day!!!
Thanks Pete!
bad scooter,
Guiseppe doesn’t care for Bruce’s music (fact)
A lot of people do care for Bruce’s music (fact)
hence, Guiseppe feels he is overrated.
science
don’t let it hurt your feelings
Nice juxtaposition of songs to commentary. Thanks, Pete.
Pete –
Did you notice that there’s a bunch of songs in the “It’s So Hard to Be a Saint in the City” clip? At the bottom. Vintage, vintage Bruce. This is what he was like the first time I saw him at Seton Hall in ‘77. This is great.
No! I saw Springsteen at Seton Hall in ‘75!!!! Shoot, times sure flies.
Springsteen vs. Dylan
i.e.,
Talent vs. Genius
But Bob’s voice is shot in live performance – has been for years – and I understand that Bruce still puts on a great show.
Constipated cows sound better than anything Bruce Sprinsteen has recorded. And I have heard every album he has recorded except the last two.
Dr Cox is to music what Mike Francesa is to Yankee fans: the very definition of pompous and over-bearing full-of-it.
Anything else you care to letcure us on?
Listen to Mozart or Bach or Beethoven to get your mind expanded.
