El Jefe plays The Boss
...OR... Drinking and Feeling Sorry for Yourself Might Not be the Best Way to Spend Valentines Day, But Hey, It's A Tradition
So this is The River by Bruce Springsteen. Somehow, in my life, I had never heard this song until very recently. Holy crap what a good song. Now I completely understand why The Boss is beloved.
You know, growing up my Boss exposure was just Born in the USA, Born to Run, Glory Days and a few more and it is was like "yeah, it's alright..not sure why he's THE BOSS..." But after hearing The River I am a convert. He is THE BOSS indeed.
This is one of those songs where there is no chance on God's Green Earth that I can do it justice, but I've just got to play it...I love it so much...must play and share...
Technical note: if you watch the video you might notice that I appear to occasionally say a few things that are probably inaudible to you. This is because I had to turn the audio input down super low before the keyboard would cease causing massive mic crackle. It's OK. What I was saying was not important--just stuff like "here's a song by The Boss'' or "happy valentine's day" or "hey kitty stop vomiting I'm trying to play a song" or "why is my music room such a barren wasteland, I really should put some pictures up" or "we can never be completely certain of our knowledge of the universe because everything we know is through the filter of being human. Science is our most successful knowledge pursuing technique but we shouldn't delude ourselves into thinking there will be some infinite progression of scientific discovery and technological innovation that will one day remove the filter of human experience and allow us to know with certainty some ultimate reality..."
Stuff like that.
Oh, and one more. I'm pretty sure I said "here's another song I've learned recently". Yes, that's right HIA, there is a short bonus song at the end. Lucky you.
Here's a link of The Boss doing it for realziez.
