I get the inconsistency thing with Bruce. Some of my album buys and concert things have been more out of loyalty than anything. But I hear that this one is the real deal, with a rock and roll sensibility that we haven't seen for a bit. I read on the annoying fansite that making this album, most of the band came in and did their things with O'Brien, but Bruce insisted on being there to work with Clarence. That made me think this could be the real deal -- Bruce getting back to the essence. We'll see what the music brings, but out of loyalty or sheer love and enthusiasm, I'm probably doing some serious driving for the upcoming tour, the last for the E Streeters probably.
