Apropos of nothing, here's a pretty awesome band from New Jersey, the Gaslight Anthem, performing with Bruce Springsteen. | |

| If gaslight ever wants to become truly successful, they need to get rid of the Springsteen influence in their next record. Or for their whole career people are going to write them off as some Springsteen wannabe band. |

Seems like a pretty ridiculous statement. First of all, you can't just stop an influence. That's why it's an influence, it's just there. If TGA makes a great record, it'll be a great record and people will listen to it. If TGA spends their time trying to not sound like somebody, they'll probably end up over thinking themselves, will definitely break their natural flow, and put themselves at risk of sounding like ass. Besides, the geographical connection is something they can't rid. It took Springsteen a few records to shake the Dylan comparison, but that wasn't because he said "I've got to make a record that won't make people think of Dylan." Eventually he just became bigger than the comparison. Takes time. | |

Seems like a pretty ridiculous statement. First of all, you can't just stop a post. That's why it's a post, it's just there (forever). If Mcirish makes a great post, it'll be a great post and people will read it. If Mcirish spends his time trying not to sound like himself, he'll probably end up over thinking himself, will definitely break his natural flow, and put himself at risk of not sounding like an ass. Besides, the geographical connection is something he can't rid. It took Ireland a few centuries to shake the drunken comparison, but that wasn't because they said "We've got to make an appearance that won't make people think we're constantly drunk". Eventually they just became bigger than the comparison. But not really. | |

You have way too much time on your hands, Harbortown, but that really made me laugh! | |
