Bruuuuuce!

Look, I know he's not power pop, but I heard something today which was, at best, concerning.

Go here, hit "Listen," and fast forward to about two minutes in.

I'll wait here.







Okay, so what you heard is an alternative mix of Springsteen's "Born to Run," with a choir, orchestral instruments, and a glockenspeil.

I think, in general, that orchestral instruments are a mistake in pop. (Though, inexplicably, I like things like banjos and bagpipes. Go figure.)

In other Bruce news, I quite like this rumor. He's smart and principled and articulate, and the worst thing you can say about the guy is that he married a supermodel by mistake. It could have happened to anyone.
