So, I’ve been fooling around with some of Bruce’s songs for fun and I guess the first thing I notice when you’re essentially some kind of Ian Curtis – Johnny Rotten hybrid trying to be Bruce Springsteen is that he comes from a different place.
This sounds like the most obvious bloody statement in the world and perhaps it is. It’s just that singing Joy Divison comes naturally to me. It’s like a second skin. Same with White Stripes, but here I am, this little girl, trying to sing songs of joy without remembering the meaning of the word till I was well into playing music. It’s a task I tell ya, but once I realized the place Bruce was coming from, that sometimes he is a whisper and not a shout (like yours truly) things seem to be making more sense.
Lemme check back in soon and I’ll let you know how I’m doin’, okay?
help me, calliope
