About Me
- Name: Frontier Editor
- Location: Mid Atlantic, United States
Fourteen years in the journalism biz, but don't let that stereotype about commie pinko bleeding heart liberal journalists fool you - I manage to disappoint conservatives and liberals alike. Whatever happened to common sense and rational thought? At least I'm not a neo-fascist, neo-Nazi or other political extremist. In fact, just about my entire political, social and metaphysical outlook can be explained in the movie "Blazing Saddles." My journalistic idols? Carl Kolchak (thus the profile pic) and Irwin M. Fletcher. As for my professional choice, it beats retail, restaurant management and scrambling around to fund graduate school. I'm also pretty smug after 30 years - I knew back in 1976 that everyone else would come around and agree with me that the Electric Light Orchestra was cool. Just listen to those Monster.com, Volkswagen and J.C. Penneys commercials.

Mmmmm...me love the Boss!
i cannot tell you how much this song turned my head towards bruce springsteen. i heard this and my world changed. then he did philadelphia and he had me. i then went through all the stuff i had heard before and heard it again but for the first time.
Who couldn't be moved by this tune? But, uh, did you take this video with some crude device in 1982?
Naw, I got it from YouTube - couldn't afford tickets in '82
