Beck Did It Better

91. Bruce Springsteen: Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978)


Listen Later

This week Beck Did it Better takes you to the promised land with a hilarious episode that everyone will enjoy unless you're a dumbshit podcast commenter on Facebook that thinks our 90's morning radio show doesn't really qualify as a podcast. Regardless, this is the best podcast about Bruce Springsteen and the 91st greatest album of all time, Darkness on the Edge of Town.

 

But before we get to the album, there is some darkness on the edge of this episode when a Facebook commenter provides a critique of the podcast and specifically the vocal stylings of the main host. Then the guys are honoring all the mothers out there by sharing our favorite mother's day memories. The conversation also touches on the concert of a lifetime, that the main host had nothing to do with, our favorite jobs that didn't make the resume, and whether our dozens of fans think we should just end this quest already. And this week we're running a special, where you'll save big money, you'll save big money when you download this podcast for free.

Then at (55:00) minutes, we talk about Bruce Springsteen's heartland rock album, Darkness on the Edge of Town. We discuss big builds, Springsteen's four corners approach to album creation, and the best songs about cars.

Call or text 802 277 BECK.  Don't be a brat!

You can email us at [email protected] follow us on our Twitter and Instagram @beckdiditbetter and feel free to leave a review on your favorite podcast app.

Please mention feet if you do review the show. If we can get "ROSIE LOVES FEET" to be something that is searchable online, I feel like this will all be worth it. 

 

Next week, there ain't no telling what's going to happen when this morning zoo show becomes the best Jimi Hendrix podcast and we listen to Axis: Bold as Love.
