Why Did Mr. Springsteen Go To Wal-Mart? by Jack Pribek [Retrieved HERE]
"So, Bruce Springsteen has a new record out,So far so good... but there must be some angst, because we know the blog-itude too well.is[he] is playing the Super Bowl, did the inauguration; he’s in the press a lot these days. He also did the exclusive distribution deal with Wal-Mart on the greatest hits package."
Bruce touched on this briefly in a lengthy NY Times piece.Now the FAQ start to flow for the King of Bossdom:
- How much of a “vetting” process do you need to do on Wal-Mart?
- Are any of you that are reading this unaware of the fact that Wal-Mart isn’t a union outfit?
- Is everybody in Springsteen’s organization that far out of touch?
Okay, the argument is [a]-WalMart #1; [b]-non-union shop; [c]-Springsteen Inc. C-class out of the loop. Check!Bruce sings for everyman. That’s the shtick right? ...The deal is, you shop at Wal-Mart because it’s cheap and you work at Wal-Mart because they are hiring.
The appeal to the Bross:
- C’mon Bruce! You did it for the money, right?
- Because Wal-Mart is the one that still throws some cash out there, right?
- That’s something everyman can understand. You go to Wal-Mart for the same reason we do; the money!
There is no mistake here. Pribek's scoop of the entrails of the deal are a perfect cross-section of how it is right now in AO America. [After Obama America] Wal-Mart came through the prairie dust storm and reigns supreme. Still on top and still moving laterally through the entire world.
It is called Supply Chain mechanics, Value Added Re-Sale Demand, money in the pursuit of developing markets dynamics, it's why Cheney was Vice president in charge of distribution economics ...call it:
"I will eat these vegetables - but it is good to have a big juicy steak once in awhile consumer bifurcations." For Chrissses' Sake, where do the sisters all shop?
I think what is being circled by these wagons, in the Pribek query is a question: "What happened to the Prestige?"Ah-ha! Said the Wagon Master: Where is the applause meter? What happened to the celebration? Where can we go to get high, enjoy some music and not be hassled?
Can I get a witness? OOOORaH, BEEEEEAcH

Hey! Would you eat Venezuelan beef?
Hell yes you would, know why?
'Cause that's what's in the wrapper.
Last time I went to McDonald's they had served over 100 bbb..Billion of 'em.
Who bought 'em?
Sure, I'd rather have an aged, Angus porterhouse, scorched over an open fire by a guy that's getting 6 figures but, I got 5 bucks in my pocket so, I'm getting a quarter pounder. 1 bbb..Billion and 1.
Bruce can have that porterhouse for brunch every day if he wants because he's made a fat lot of dough singing about his "vision" of America.
We have a saying here; "Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining".
It's mighty fine that Bruce pines for the glory days of Jimmy Hoffa in my book. But, it's insulting to hear him slagging Wal-Mart after he took the money especially because I'll be spending my money there this week, next week......and so will you and that guy over there.
So is it about; "What happened to the Prestige?" Yeah, I guess so, if that means cut the crap.
Check in tomorrow as Bruce puts on the faded jeans, straps on the old Tele and shouts the blues to bbb..Billios worldwide before he hops in the Bentley and tells the driver to stop at Nieman Marcus to pick up a few things the wife reminded him about before he left the house then sits down to some sushi and cornbread in the jungle room.
and, oh yeah..the guy doesn't even like football, that's gleefully all over the Times piece too.

I been a busy bee this morning... and look I hooked a really big one!!
I just added the pictures to the article... my eating those bbbburggers is in the sodium, makes me swell up like a blue whale, in heat, unfurrowed that he is humping a sunk battleship.
That's true, all of it.
In the days of on the road with the late great Rollo, at one point, he was dating a young lady that was big boned and stood about 6'4". Now Rollo was maybe 5'7" himself in rock and roll boots. One night, after watching him dancing, eyes blissfully shut with his face buried in her ample bosom and she patting ever so gently on his carefully coiffed hair; I asked, "How's that working out for you?"
To which he replied; "Like a spider monkey humping a basketball".
What? are you trying to get last word?
...okay that Prine was very good. I put it in my favorites... and sent it to FezBook... to all my ex-s.
it should be noted that for a brief time he used the stage name AFKAR (the artist formerly known as Rollo)
