I loathe him.

Terrible show.

I kept dreaming about Toby Keith - I wish he would do the show!

Re: I thought the Superbowl Halftime show yesterday was a ....

not a patriotic song by any means.

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just covering up

[chorus:]
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to Vietnam
To go and kill the yellow man

[chorus]

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
I go down to see the V.A. man
He said "Son don't you understand"

[chorus]

I had a buddy at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a little girl in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go

I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.







im glad someone understands the lyrics!
he couldnt have possibly done this song during the superbowl, especially with the war etc going on! its not a happy song!

I just heard on the radio that from a Daily News poll, 50% of those polled said it was the best halftime show ever.

He bores me. Whines for 4 hours straight in concert. I love Anthony's (from Opie and Anthony) imitation of him.

Disagree completely. I don't always agree with him but I thought it was fabulous. Since I'm a Jersey girl now, he's got my heart.

On a side note, I thought his wife looked great.

I really never thought about the words to Born in the USA

I haven't heard it in at least 20 years- so I would have been really young then

I get it now

I thought it was great! Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out and Glory Days are my two favorite Bruce songs so I was really happy! It was nice to see all of them together and much better, IMO, than another teeny bopper group!

Sometimes I like Bruce and sometimes I don't...I liked him yesterday...I thought he and his band did a great job!

Re: I thought the Superbowl Halftime show yesterday was a ....

i'm not a springsteen fan, but i'd watch him and his band rock out anyday over some over produced, hyped up singer and their dancers.

i much prefer a 'real' band with musical talent

not my cup of tea, but not boring. i find britney, justin and those guys much much more boring.

I disagree. I thought the show was great. I thought he and his band rocked.

Loved it.

It was nice to see something other than a effects, dancing, hip hop show.

It was real to me and he and the band did great.

I agree 100%!

I guess I am really showing my age since I LOVED it. I thought he was awesome and I am not the biggest Bruce fan around.

My DH said it was old fashioned and I told him he was being un-American..I thought it was awesome!

I was to busy talking and missed the whole halftime show
