Still one of the best albums of all time... "I aint gonna play Sun City". Period. Stevie van Zandt is one of the greatest characters ever. AND... nobody cant say "What the fuck...?" as disgusted and annoyed as Little Steven.

The most amazing part of Stevie's story, and there are alot of amazing parts, is that within a year or two in the late 1990's, he went from not being in the public eye at all to acting in The Sopranos, being on tour with the E Street Band again and creating and introducing his great project The Underground Garage radio show. He went from being basically forgotten to being an American Iconoclast. And now he's a man of letters! Ladies and Gentlemen, Little Steven, Miami Steve, Mr. Stevie Van Zandt!

One of the greatest debaters ever. I miss him.

Lchaim from Jacova born March 11th in a Bethlehem. After my family moved here from Hamburg Germany. I grew up the in Cherry Hill, N.J. I have senn Bruce Springteen and the E street band many times. 1981 I was an aupair in Hamburg, Germany. Bruce Springsteen and the E street band flew my from Hambug to Berlin with them on the plane and were wonderful. Steve's with was especially wonderful because she like me danced ballet.

Just about the time Stevie Van Zandt got talking about what he was doing, the interview ended. is there more of this interview? seems like there's got to be, I guess I will have to try to find the whole episode. those albums covers reminded me of musicians from the glam rock era. my favorite groups were from that era starting with SLADE, and Marc Bolan and T Rex, and Sweet, and Suzie Quattro, Dave Hill of SLADE wore some wild costumes. Marc Bolan wore eye makeup and feather boas. and Steve Priest of Sweet wore some wild costumes also. I still love to listen to that music, I guarantee you will never find music that good these days no doubt.

Underground garage introduced me to a plethora of excellent music, thanks Stevie

The poster has these words printed across it." She promised to follow him to the end of the world. He promised to arrange it ! ".

Thatcher and Reagan we're so focused on bringing down the Soviet Union that they couldn't take anything more on their plate. I'm sure leftists in America have a different narrative that feeds their belly full of hate that they love to carry around with them to display their special virtuous intrinsic superiority. I find it interesting that in this world full of all sorts of Oppression, like the Uyghurs in China, or the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia, or the oppression of Jews in the Middle East and across Europe, that an American leftist will call you a racist if you dare to bring these up.
