Yeah, "On the Dark Side" does sound a lot like the Boss, doesn't it? I'm not surprised that "On the Dark Side" took off after the Boss's success with "Dan- cing in the Dark" and "Cover Me" because the first time "On the Dark Side" was released (fall of '83) no one was interested. > Perhaps they should change their name to "BOSSMANIA" > cause' I don't think their career will "take off" > if they keep rippin' off Brucie. > Better yet, I would love to see Bruce drag his > imitators down to "E STREET" and beat the crap out of > them. I imagine there will be a news posting from bruce@asburypark.UUCP soon enough so we will get to hear the Boss's personal comments on the subject. -- Baby tie your hair back in a long white bow ...
