Okay,
If he's a car guy, what cars does he own and does he do his own work?? I 
doubt he owns any Corvairs. GGG!

>> d) The reasons I liked his music then and like it now (he is still

>> a

>> USA,
>> which is what I like doing; b) he sings about American cars, which are

>> USA but Racing in the Street, with Cadillac Ranch a close second).

>> The video to I'm on Fire shows him under a Camaro (supposedly working on

>> Here's the first verse of Racing in the Street:
>>
>> I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
>> Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
>> She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
>> Outside the Seven-Eleven store
>> Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
>> And he rides with me from town to town
>> We only run for the money got no strings attached
>> We shut `em up and then we shut `em down
>>
>> So there you have it - the reason I like the Boss is because he sings
>> about
>> American cars and driving them. Especially Chevs.
>>
>> Cheers

>> Alan

>> P.S. And better still, as far as I know, he hasn't bought a Prius! As his
>> followers are largely working class, blue-collar guys, he has to be very
>> careful about being too overtly green and latte-sipping, so although he 
>> is
>> Obama's ambassador on earth, I haven't heard him making any anti-car
>> statements, for fear of alienating his core supporters. And he certainly
>> sang a lot of the old car-related songs last night, even if he hasn't
>> written any new ones for a while...
