ROCK ON, WAYNE!

The sad thing is as Frazod said, Smokin' isn't even in my Top 5 of Boston songs

**Dartgod** · 03-02-2011, 10:35 AM

It is a shame that 3 of these songs will advance. Smokin is the only one slightly worthy.

Tales Of Brave Ulysses is rock friggin' history, you brainsick, tasteless bastards. First time (to my knowledge) that the wa-wa pedal was used on a record, for crying out loud.

I worry for the future of our world.

If "I'm not voting for any of these" comes in first, does the whole lot of them fail to advance? Afterall, that would seem to be multiplying be zero if you let 2nd and 3rd advance.

**Rain Man** · 03-02-2011, 10:48 AM

I beseech everyone to watch this youtube of Lost in the Flood. You may not know about this song because it's from one of Springsteen's first albums and it was overshadowed by more famous songs, but it's awesome. It's a story of a kind of amateur hitman who gets killed by the police, and you have to listen to the whole song because it gets stronger as it goes.

The ragamuffin gunner is returnin' home like a hungry runaway
He walks through town all alone
He must be from the fort he hears the high school girls say
His countryside's burnin' with wolfman fairies dressed in drag for homicide
The hit and run, plead sanctuary, `neath a holy stone they hide
They're breakin' beams and crosses with a spastic's reelin' perfection
nuns run bald through Vatican halls pregnant, pleadin' immaculate conception
And everybody's wrecked on Main Street from drinking unholy blood
Sticker smiles sweet as gunner breathes deep, his ankles caked in mud
And I said "Hey, gunner man, that's quicksand, that's quicksand that ain't mud
Have you thrown your senses to the war or did you lose them in the flood?"
That pure American brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced
races Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock super eight
He rides `er low on the hip, on the side he's got Bound For Glory in red, white and blue flash paint
He leans on the hood telling racing stories, the kids call him Jimmy The Saint
Well the blaze and noise boy, he's gunnin' that bitch loaded to blastin' point
He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears into a point
And there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell
That is, nothin' left that you could sell
just junk all across the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell
And he said "Hey kid, you think that's oil? Man, that ain't oil that's blood"
I wonder what he was thinking when he hit that storm
Or was he just lost in the flood?
Eighth Avenue sailors in satin shirts whisper in the air
Some storefront incarnation of Maria, she's puttin' on me the stare
and Bronx's best apostle stands with his hand on his own hardware
Everything stops, you hear five, quick shots, the cops come up for air
And now the whiz-bang gang from uptown, they're shootin' up the street
And that cat from the Bronx starts lettin' loose
but he gets blown right off his feet
And some kid comes blastin' round the corner but a cop puts him right away
He lays on the street holding his leg screaming something in Spanish
Still breathing when I walked away
And somebody said "Hey man did you see that? His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud"
I wonder what the dude was sayin' or was he just lost in the flood?
Hey man, did you see that, those poor cats are sure messed up
I wonder what they were gettin' into, or were they just lost in the flood?

Listen to the song, my friend. Listen to the song. Even if you don't like Bruce now (an infathomable thought), listen to him in 1973. This song tells an American story.

This is a great suggestion.

**Rain Man** · 03-02-2011, 10:52 AM

Lost in the Flood is fantastic and should advance if the whole lot of you aren't heathens.

Smokin' is a great song.

While Shelter from the Storm is a great song, it's not rock and roll in my opinion, so I couldn't vote for it. Instead, I went with the Dead Kennedys.

**Rain Man** · 03-02-2011, 10:52 AM

Post 23, people. Listen to Lost in the Flood.

Atlantic City is my favorite Springsteen song. Counting Crows used to cover it in concert & it was freaking amazing.

Okay. I listened. All the way through.

Then I gagged a little and am now contemplating suicide.

Thanks, Mr. Rain Man.
