Music Blogs

We were pondering our video queue a few weeks ago--let's get a move on there, Miley!--when our reverie was interrupted by a ringing Framed phone.

"Hello, this is Framed, The Blog That Likes You," we said, as we must by contractual agreement with Y! Music.

"Framed?  It's me!" said the voice.

"Yes it is," we agreed. "But who are you?"

"It's me, Bruce. You remember," the voice said.

"Bruce Cohen? The guy we hung out with in high school?"

"No, no! Springsteen! The musician."

"Oh, hey, how's it going Bruce? Are you still writing songs and such?"

"I sure am! And, hey, I got something for you."

"Is it inhalable?"

"No, man, listen: I've got a new video. It's really great! I think it would be cool to run it in Framed!"

"Um... jeez... I dunno, fella. You know, we've got Miley to think about, and--"

"Aw, c'mon. You told me to give you a call when I had a new video out!"

"Yeah, but that was probably the Sambuca talking."

"C'mon, man. For old time's sake?" There was a note of pleading in the aged musician's voice, and we're a pretty famous soft touch.

"Well... I guess we could slip it into rotation after that great OneRepublic video. All the kids like them."

"Sweet! You're the best! You won't regret it, man!"

Yeah, well, we'll see about that.

1 - "Hello, readers and fans, and welcome to my video. I'm Bruce Springsteen!"

2 - "You may remember me from such hits as ‘Born In The USA,' ‘Born To Run,' and ‘The Bourne Conspiracy.'"

3 - "I was just kidding about that last one! But did you get it?"

4 - "My video director, Richard, tells me that this shot has no symbolic meaning whatsoever! OK then, Dick!"

5 - "Whoa!  Hope you folks aren't blinded by the light!"

6- "Did you get that? Blinded by the light? C'mon, is there anybody alive out there?"

7 - "As you can see, my video features some nice-lookin' girls. C'mon over here, baby, and I'll be glad to show you the rising, if you catch my drift."

8 - "And here's another babe. Where're you from, honey?"

9- "This jukebox has all of John Mellencamp's greatest songs! I guess that's why somebody tossed it here on the beach! Hey, now!" 

10 - "Hey! Is this a Bruce Springsteen video or A Flock of Seagulls video?! Buh duh dump!"

11 - "Whoa! Baby, if I were in charge of the alphabet I'd put U and I together! Hubba!"

12 - "So, in summary, I'd have to say that being in Framed is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me! Don't forget to tip your waitress!"
