I can think of worse testaments to a life well lived than to have Bruce Springsteen play the the greatest rock and roll song of all time at your memorial service.



If it were my memorial service, though, I think I'd want the up-tempo version ...

Could have been worse, the Boss could have played it creepy.

Ross:
All your conservative buddies are gonna hate you now. How could you ever like such a DFH?

Bruce also submitted a video of him singing Thunder Road for one of the victims of 9/11 and sent his sons the harmonica. Class act.

I've already instructed my wife that I want the slow version of Incident on 57th Street played at my funeral.

My dad says he wants the live version of Rosalita played at his funeral and wants his family in the front row introduced at the same time and in the same way that Bruce used to introduce the members of his band during that song.

Hey, why don't you listen to The Ghost of Tom Joad and think about what your ideology says to all the suffering people in the country.

The greatest rock and roll song of all time?

Ross, you realize this song's about premarital sex, don't you? Just what kind of uptight conservative prick do you think you are?

He played "Beat On the Brat"? AWESOME!

Ross is exactly the sort of Reagan-loving goober who Springsteen despises - the sort who thought "Born In The USA" was an endorsement of the sort of bullshit Saint Reagan stood for.

Meet the new Ross - why exactly does he like 'the Boss'? I don't get it.
