I never understood the vitriol folks have lobbed at this song. Showing up quite often on fan lists of Springsteen’s worst songs (the idea of a fan making a list of the an artist’s “worst” songs being a topic for another day) You May Also Like: Reevaluating Bruce Springsteen’s ‘TheRead More

Here is a example of me never getting to the lyrics. Musically, “The Long Goodbye” goes nowhere. You May Also Like: Richard Turgeon, “Goodbye to Summer” (2020): One Track Mind

Haven’t we all been in this situation? I know I have. There’s a breakup and somewhere down the road you see your ex with somebody new. It can hurt, perhaps more than you were expecting. You May Also Like: Reevaluating Bruce Springsteen’s ‘The Wild, the Innocent and the E StreetRead More
