You know you're a Bruce fan if...

257. a song makes you want to dye your hair red (girls only!!)
258. instead of being depressing, the words "you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore"...make you feel exhilarated.
259. you yell Bruuuuuce after every song in your car, which only plays his CD's, all alone, on your way to work in the morning just to face the day
260. you'll date any girl called "Janey".
261. you were one of the "aficionados" of 08/9 singing along to "Frankie" while 19,950 people scratched their heads or went for beer
262. you make your plans for ticket sale day with the same sense of urgency used by devout Muslims planning their pilgrimage to Mecca
263. your co-workers laugh at you every time "Blinded by the Light" comes on the radio, because they know it eats you up inside.
264. you then insist on calling the radio station to remind them that Bruce wrote it.
265. you don't care that your friends laugh at you when you tell them that going to see Bruce with your dad is the greatest moment of your life(7/24/99).
266. you seriously consider canceling your vacation plans because there's a chance tickets could go on sale during the week you're supposed to be far away
267. you begin using the word "jailbait" to refer to any low number and consider it strange that everyone doesn't know what you mean by it
268. you're pissed off for an hour because the radio announcer promised a Springsteen song after the commercial and they end up playing "Cover Me"
269. you're told you have an unhealthy obsession for going to all 5 Boston shows in August 1999 - but you know you never felt better!
270. you ever took a wrong turn, and just kept going!
271. you shut out the light each night when you go to bed
272. you stand outside the Fleet Center in Boston in February of 2000 listening to a boot of the 8/22 show ...Ahhh memories!
273. all your Bruce studio discs and bootlegs are in chronological order.
274. you rode to the sea rather than attend church to wash those sins off your hands
275. the last thing you pack before you go to the hospital is Bruce CD's to listen to while in labor (or maybe that's the first thing to pack)

EVERY TIME you post one of these, I swear to God, it's eerie. I though only I did some of these things.

And how else could you store your Bruce CDs if not chronologically?
(I suppose I could try autobiographically, like in high fidelity...
GH, Live, Nebraska, Wild & Innocent, BitUSA, Darkness, BTR, River, 18 Tracks, Greetings, Tunnel, Ghost of Tom Joad, HT, LT)

#257 - if had been lucky enough as to have really great seats I would definitely have gone red in hope of increasing my chances of eye contact... and yeah, I'll admit I thought of it during the tour and not just because I saw it on this list. Even figured out how to explain it to my husband.

#273 - well, of course! What are you going to do, file them alphabetically? (Interesting autobiographical list, Z23, what took you so long to get around to BTR?)

Do you think if I walk into the nearest mental health facility and hand them this list they'd have me committed? (I'm sure I could supplement the list with some witnesses who could attest to my obsession.) I've got 7 deadlines on Monday, so that might just be the way out.

Back to work...

#268 rings so true to me - although I might be pissed off for an hour and a half!

As for storing discs chronologically - do the bootlegs go between the released stuff or after it?

Crazy Davey - after it, of course! Boots are in a separate category. Besides, it's a lot less confusing when you're reaching for a boot to copy if you don't have to sift through official releases on your way.

I just love this place...
Chronological CD's of course... released, studio outtakes, live shows,all separate section, all in order.. (thank God I'm not alone on this one!)
258 most definately
261 would've been if I was there.
262 remember this well
267 also - too frequent inappropriate use of "nosebleed"
268 - yep
275 - I did, but the drugs got the better of me..
