following the gaslight anthem post, i can just read the 'this is not punk' comments already.

'the only reason punknews posts on springsteen is because the gaslight anthem worship him.'

'springsteen should call it quits and take the bouncing souls and bad religion with him.'

blah blah blah.

Springsteen is a bitch to corporate media, you forgot that one.

I'll care about what that fucking hippie has to say when he starts putting out records on his own. Or if tours with Tragedy.

"__________ rules, and __________ (is) about a thousand times more 'punk' than most of you little douchebags."

There needs to be punknews adlib. It would probably include something about Gabel and beards, and racist jokes every time Whole Wheat Bread comes up.

jZero666 (July 8, 2008)

Good call.

Bruce Springsteen would never ask Elvis about Carl Perkins' blue suede shoes. Fuck the Bouncing Souls.

I thought Bruce Springsteen was one of singers for the reformed Dead Kennedys? That's punk.
