Not to be viewed if of nervous disposition....

Well, I have only heard this song once or twice since it is his latest song but I had never seen the video. Quite frankly, I wish I hadn"t. I should"ve heeded your warning.
At the start when his head slowly emerges from the water. That is one of the creepiest things I have ever seen.

I don"t really listen to music when playing live. I"ve tried it a couple of times but I like to concentrate on every hand and what everybody"s doing during the hands when playing live and music takes away my concentration. Still do it the odd time but not much.

When playing online though i"ll listen to music. And I believe it"s true that music has great power over how you act/play - depending on how I want to play or how i"m playing at that point in time i"ll listen to an array of different music. All sorts like:

Lykke Li --- been listening to album a lot recently
Frank Sinatra
The Eagles
MGMT
Oasis
The Chemical Brothers
Rusko / Benga / Tayo (& various other Dubsteppy stuff)
Various dance DJ mixes

Having only just mentioned "The Boss", I should probably say to anyone interested that I just received an e-mail saying that Springsteen"s new single "Working on a Dream" is available for free download off his website and iTunes for today only.

Even better news is that his new album of the same title is going to be released on 27th January.

To put it simply, I can"t wait.

Wooppee! Hopefully that"ll mean there"s another tour due soon.

[A_Stupid_Man]

Wooppee! I can"t wait for the next tour.

I agree, I"ve never seen him live and I  hear that it"s quite an experience so I am going to make sure I make it to one of his gigs this time round.

I would not bet against this new Springsteen track winning the Oscar for best song, from The Wrestler starring Micky Rourke, to be released at the end of the year.

i think if bruce tweaks the lyrics a wee bit it would be a world wide buster of a magnitude never seen since thriller.
All those great lyrics comparing himself to - a one trick pony,a one legged dog??,a one armed man,a one eyed man and the old classic a one legged man, the boss really only has to make a subtle change here - have you ever seen a one legged man in a arse kicking contest , then you"ve seen me , then you"ve seen meeeeee

gr8 stuff  

lol....i think he was referring to Micky Rouke"s character in the Wrestler, but I think he may have missed a trick leaving out the arse kicking verse...gotta give you that.

I want this as my poker theme tune

Specifically I have in mind that this is the theme tune to be played over the montage of clips of me playing in the run up to my WSOP Main Event win.

But in the absence of that I"ll just have it as my general poker theme tune

I have to agree with you there. It"s a great, yet heartbreaking song like so many that Springsteen has done in the past. It seems like the kind of thing that the Oscar judges would like. Even if he doesn"t win it, he has still got his Oscar from 1993 (I had to look that up to get the year right, I was only 3 at the time so I should be excused for not knowing off the top of my head).

Not a bad choice Jon , but for me a John Barry classic would sound great in the background on espn wsop 2009 as they showed me donking my way through the fields of professionals and inflicting Horrendous suck out after suck out and all with a touch of class and a big grin from ear to ear

Good choice Noble.

And obviously they couldn"t use the same music in consecutive years - so you take that for 2009 and I"ll have mine 2010

[bigredders]

depends on the time of day for me, and how long played. if long into day one, some foo fighters/ raconteurs is needed to keep my head active otherwise just chill out stuff, nice and calm.....dont do anything stupid....shame i didnt have it on in london!

paul weller as well, just for inspiration
