Whaddya think.......Ricky Scaggs VS. Bruce Springsteen

[spanone]

I think I'll take the boss. Rickys' audience isn't as big as the boss' entourage. Ricky loves Jesus, therefore he loves W*. Bruce Loves America.

1. WTF is Ricky Scaggs?

Is he Boz Skaggs's son? 'nuff said.

10. I live a simple life

work all day and sleep all night,
couple kids that need a nap,
big dog and a little cat,
a wife that barks but rarely bites,
so I live a simple life.

My favorite book was wrote bout a man who died to save my soul,
My favorite words to hear are Daddy I'm so glad youre home
My favorite woman is 5'3" with long black hair and green eyes
So I live a simple life.

I live a simple life, couple of friends I really like
Little house outside of town, old car that gets me around
Pick with the boys on friday night,
so I live the simple life.

I live a simple life, cell phone when the old car dies
Internet to tell me where, GPS to get me there
Satellites are everywhere,
still I live a simple life.

From memory - damn good song so I learned it.

2. Can I Love All Three...

Jesus, America, and the boss, and in that order....

3. Ricky, Ricky, Ricky. You're too good a musician to be so dumb.

[Bluzmann57]

4. Pretty general statement

"Ricky loves Jesus, therefore he loves W*" You need to think about things before you say them. Not all people of faith love bush and quite frankly, I take offense at your generalization. And Skaggs is a fine musician. Both men have strengths and weaknesses, therefore I won't pick between them.

6. Take all the offense you like.

11. That Was A False Syllogism...

5. Springsteen!

No contest, IMHO.

7. Country music is for Christian values?

Help me out here. What does a good country western song have?

drunk, prison, mama, train, pick up truck and David Alan Cole? (what else?)

Doesn't sound like Christian values to me.

And they finally mentioned, and Skaggs bashed - the Dixie Chicks. But what about Willie?

8. Ricky's a much better guitar player

but Bruce is a lot more patriotic. He cares more about the country than he does about the person running it.

9. Bruce is a far better songwriter

Bruce is one of the best songwriters of the last fifty years. Songwriting is the real deal - that's where it all comes together.
