Brucemania NEW YORK (AP) — It’s a tribute to Bruce Springsteen — albeit a backhanded one — that he most recently made headlines when his five-rec- ord Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Live 1975-85 was declared “a plat inum turkey” six months after its release. That's because it sold a mere three million copies. Brucemania was at its most fervent last summer, Visit the Scenic Slocan Valley!

Music critic Dave Marsh has chronicled the last six years of the rocker's career in Glory Days: Bruce Spring- steen in the 1980s. Marsh, 37, is one of rock ‘n’ roll’s best-known writers, with pieces appearing regu- larly in Rolling Stone, Play- _boy_and—his—ewn monthly newsletter, Rock and Roll Confidential. He is the author or co author of 10 other books, including biographies of The Who, Elvis Presley and a previous work on Spring- steen, Born to Run: The Bruce Springsteen Story, published in 1979. “One of the things I hoped S00 OFF ANY HOME BURGER . with this ad dying ‘Glory Days’ would do would be to lend a much more human dimension to how people saw Bruce,” Marsh said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles, midway through a 21-city publicity tour. “Born to Run was such an act of hero worship, which T've always blamed myself for. Glory Days is much less of that,” he said. Marsh, not only a longtime fan and veteran of more than 200 concerts, is also a close friend of Springsteen, and Glory Days is as close to a gushing “official” biography that one can get. The book begins with the E Street Band's first full-scale overseas tour in 1981, and the effect that traveling abroad had on Springsteen. He began to see America in a new light, a light fueled also be his reading of Henry Steele Commager and Allen Nevins’ History of the United States. The reader can clearly see down the seeds of the complicated, political-patriotic message in Born in the U.S.A. Glory Days next docu- ments the recording of Neb- raska, whose acoustic, plain- tive sound was a radical de- parture for the hard-rocking Springsteen as well as a dis appointment to some of his fans. One sees the soul- searching the artist under went before work began on Born in the U.S.A. Then comes the story of that phenomenal album, which would go on to sell 18 million records and become the second-best selling album of all time. The ensuing tour was the highest-grossing rock tour ever — $100 million in ticket sales alone. Somewhere during that time Springsteen found time to marry Julianne Philips, and after the tour he began selecting: the songs that would make up the live col lection.

It was loud and rude, but certainly more fun than most of its mannered company. It was also the freshest thing to blast out of a dashboard speaker in years, and proved that guitar- driven country-blues rock was still alive and well. Nothing fancy. Just standard chords banged out on beat-up guitars slung low around the hips. The Satellites lead a movement of bar bands and independent groups that draw on the power of ‘70s rockers like Ae ith, the social of punkers like The Clash and the country-rock tradition of Gram Parsons and Nei! Young. Many of these guitar-based bands — including The Del Fuegos, The BoDeans and Meat Puppets — got their break in the last two years and released their first albums with major record companies. They didn’t get much airplay or rack up big sales, but most survived to make their second albums in 1987. BEST OF BUNCH The Long Ryders and Green on Red are among the best of the back-to-the-future bunch, and their new records show they're nioving forward. While many U.S. country and rock bands are blatantly jingoist in their odes to the American way, Arizona's Green on Red present the ugly underbelly of the southern states on the gripping The Killer Inside Me (Mercury). From Dan Stuart's anguished off-key wails to his songs of prejudice and exploitation, the LP is reminiscent of Southern Man, Neil Young's denouncement of Georgian rednecks. Borrowing its title from a ‘50s thriller by U.S. writer Jim Thompson, the LP debunks the prevalent notion of the good old days: “Fourteen hours of hell for one day's pay. They might hang you for the color of your skin.” MIGHTY GUN Similarly, the Mighty Gun tells “The way the west was really won: Plenty of cheap labor and the mighty gun.” On Born to Fight, the patriot who becomes a mercenary in El Salvador to fight for the right of “assembly and honky-tonk Saturday nights,” joins the other side after seeing that the government he's fighting for has filled a ditch “with children’s lives.” The bitterness, tension and frustration is underpin- ned with brittle guitar, mournful backing vocals and gut-bucket country. It’s bleak and disturbing, but it’s also rivetting and revealing. Not for all tastes, but an accom- plished record and one of the best in 1987. The Long Ryders can get ornery, but they're generally lighter than Green on Red. And the Los Angeles quartet's Two Fisted Tales (Island) is an outstanding LP full of gutsy southern rock rick in tradition and springing with vitality. LYRICS EARNEST From Sid Griffin's mutton-chop sideburns of the cover to their Byrds-like jangle, the LP could be passed off as calculated nostalgia if not for the passionate, earnest lyrics about troubled folks and American ills. This includes suicide, a militant farmers group and Ronald Reagan. The adaptable and melodic Griffin can wail like a banshee on barn burners like Prairie Fir, sing with fluid vase on the poppy I Want You Bad, and coax out a lonely drone on psychedelic folk like Baby's in Toyland. These guys can kick out the barstools, especially on the two-fisted riff rocker Gunslinger (about Reagan), but are equally at home with rustic mandolins and autoharps. The Ryders don’t make any attempt to update their dusty California sound, but as they sing on A Stitch in Time, “If it ain't broke, don’t fix it.” The Hoodoo Gurus are Australian and don't have a drop of country in their blood, but they share the same love for blazing guitars. The Gurus are cheery bunch, grinding out lively party rock on Blow Your Cool! (Mercury) that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a tune in your head. The British-flavored record bounces with the effervescence of The Buzzcocks and energy of The Flamin’ Groovies. Powerful singer Dave Faulkner roars enthusiastical-! ly on an infectious collection of hook-laden gems. Good) Times is as perfect a summer single as you're likely to find, while Where Nowhere Is has the pulse-raising power of vintage Ramones. Blow your mind with the Hoodoo Gurus. dune 17, 1987 Friday, June 19 & Saturday, June 20 Only ewaY) Safeway Coupon Value WRITE IN ITEM OF YOUR CHOICE 2 Re This coupon good for the item handwritten in.
