tet 's contenpTate our Anerican naveTs this July 4th and reaTize just how great i t is tobe born in the USA. Yot just because of Rambo - but because this is u .ouitty where aconnon nan l-r.ke Boss Springsteen can get on stage wearing a workshirt and ieLnst strapon a guitar and sing about other conmon nen. And that 's i t ! No nake-up (eiept in thevideos), no buTTshit hairdot nothing in between hin and his fans but an electr icguitar. . . we77, except for a nega pTatter-pusher ca77ed CBS Records, a vast web ofnonster-kiTonatt radio progranmerst aI t in-bred arny of nat ionaT record promoters,var ious sTiney back-patters and back-stabbers; sorrr€ proninent Anerican f iTn directorsand a few unident i f iabTe hand-hoTding generaT nusic biz types.But that stuff doesn't natter because Bruce is great.

'Populists' Continued fron Page 1

ni77t Sports is at 5)t George Thorogood has an LP in the 40. Ton Petty is a pick to

cTick in video and on tour. Bob Seg""r was revivedby'Risky Business' . And John

I,IeTlencanp (even without a new reT"ease) stays in rotation on ItIV' The other two bTue

coTlar Johns - rog"rty and caffetty - have had a dynanite six nonths' Even out canadian

brothers Bryan and Corey hit their stride. No doubt about it - this arny of the conmon

peopTe is sieeping through radio fornats Tike a rock and ro17 A-Tean'

But like aI7 greit trends - the rock populist novenent is one patt destiny and two

parts strategy. The strategy cones ttbi a coaTition of si1ent conspiratorst heads of

IISA-based congTonerates who own and conttol our sources of entettainnent and consumer

products. unTike the nuTti-national conspiracies discussed in previous A&R Reports (see

ish 45 nfte Are the Wori.d and Don't You Forget It - The BattLe Against I' luLti-NationaT

Product StranguTationt), this USA-based gtoup is seeking nore than Product -nanipuTation. They are attempting to influen": ?

generation.on the verge of nassive

baby-naking. They are geating for the turn of the century when the Anerican Dtean is

going to face "or" ".ius g7oba7 problems.,In ordet to guarantee that AppTe pie is not

repLaced with Apple Croissants or Apfelkuchel,- we need io instiLT a value systen that

wi'1-7 give sone'Gary Coopet type Anerican backbone to the CTass of 2070'

And if you want to'r.u.h the- baby-makets, y?u have to go to pop nusic because ever

since ELvis, the prenise and ptotit" of rock nusic [and the teason why it's packed with

short guys and ug-Ly facesl. is that The Guy with the Guitar Gets the GirLl

Sot let,s face it, if you've got a heavy -investnent in the red, white and blue' you're

going to want l,l i77er-tine banbinos. That's why, Bruce pu71ed the A7L-Aaerican brunette

on stage in his 'Dancin' in the Dark' video and that's why a neutron nedia bonb was

dropped ovet Bruce's wedding. Sonebody out there is nixing ETvis PresTey and the

constitution in a Tast ditch attenpt to create a race capabLe of nanning the danget

bound USA-l{othershiP.we cantt do nuch to control this kind of 70ng-tern fascist pl"anning but we can-

certainly rejoice in the baby-naking. This J-uty 4tn, the A&R Report supports a7L

Americans in kove. Best Eo Bruce. (F.5. And don't forget, under Anerica's antiquated

cary;urk.y property Lawst Julianniis'share doesn't stari to happen tiLl" the next LP')
