Daisey Jeep Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 14 minutes ago, burgessliam22 said: Some people I've spoke to are guessing he had some drinks, was in the park and as he made his way to leave made a mistake in the car, a dodgy turn or something and a police officer noticed. I guessed that he was not "pissed" as some said so glad to see he was 0.02 That's what i figur I mean how many of us have sat in a car in a park or the beach and had a couple ? Im not saying its right but it slap doesn't mean something os an alcoholic either ive done a few things that would have got me fired involving alcohol consumption 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JustDan Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Springsteen is a human being just like the rest of us. So how come some of us seem to be holding him to a higher standard? Because he's a well-known celebrity? Why have some of us put this guy up on a pedestal much higher than our own pedestals? Yes, he has a gift. He is a gifted artist and his gift has taken him to heights most of us can only dream about. But at the end of the day, the man is HUMAN. Just like the rest of us. He fucked up, & he fucked up bad. How many of us have been there? He shits, showers and shaves just like the rest of us. He is fallible & makes mistakes...just like the average Joe & Jane human. The culture of the cult of personality is one of the main reasons why the human race has suffered wars, racism and every other social upheaval one can think of, and as long as we keep it that way, there's no end in sight. TRUST THE ART...NOT THE ARTIST. Now goddamnit...praise the lord & pass the sauce 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve certainly gotten my money’s worth from him as well. But he’s never come over to hang out on the deck or anything. Nor has he invited me over to the barn. I’ve never really held him to any higher standard than any other human being outside of his songwriting ability. We have a business relationship. I’m happy with the deal we’ve had over all these years. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daisey Jeep Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 What's going to suck is when this goes to court and he doesn't get convicted for DIY its not going to be headline news like it is now Someone's got it in for him Maybe it will be 1% eaiser to get a concert ticket for someone (Some) Rock stars do worse than this in their sleep 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I might have him on a pedestal he'd rather not be on but one of the things i love about him is his imperfections Its hardly like when the Beatles were misquoted as saying they were greater than God Nobody is burning records But i still feel sorry for him I remember my last year at high school We had these big exams in those days held at Otago university Instead of going, i just walked straight past All summer i worried about it and didn't tell my parents When the results came in the mail they wondered why i never opened them It says absent on my (long thrown out) bersey certificate Needless to say i wasn't going to varsity anyway But this thing must have been hanging over Bruce all Christmas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

homesquid Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Why is this major news? Mainstream newsworthy? If true it's not his best moment and he shouldn't have done it it's wrong but it's annoying that conservative shitbags are enjoying this so much. I've probably driven legally drunk/buzzed but not impaired. I didn't get pulled over. I won't do it again. I reckon 8 out of 10 people who are driving intoxicated at least once in their lives don't get pulled over. I'd like to know his blood alcohol level because it's 0.9 or something get real. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
