This is 10th Avenue Freezeout by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. I should note here that Bruce & Co are my Aunt's most favorite band ever. I mean, she loves The Boss like I love R.E.M. It is a love that is total and unconditional.
Ok. Now that that is out of the way... this song is significant today due to our new address. Without giving too much detail I'm sure you can all figure it out.
This particular performance is from Bruce's first performance outside the U.S. - which was in London in 1975. The best part of this song starts at 1:54 - rock out appropriately. ______________________________________________
Why the Half-Assed part you ask ? Because much like the Ocean State itself, there are somethings that are just not quite right about this house.
For example.....the toilet paper holder in the downstairs bath is crooked. There is a piece of molding outside the backdoor that is untreated particle board.....yes....untreated particle board...outside....exposed to the elements.....with no gutter.......getting rained on and rotting. There are paint drips all over the front ( slate ) front porch. There are paint drips all over the driveway....we think he let the four year old paint.......just kidding.
Brock and I have concluded that the previous owners were not the sharpest tools in the shed. It's as if there were...coughcough...white trash who tried to not be white trash but couldn't quite figure out how to get there.
We've done a lot of walking around the house going " WTF ?! " and scratching our heads.
So we are currently going about un-half-assing the house.
Wish us luck.
XOXO
