asbury park

From all my years listening to Bruce Springsteen. I never thought he is from the hood. But after going to Asbury Park. I realized he is from the hood. Its not a outright hood. Not like we think of. Like the bad parts of Oakland. That is straight out hood. But it is a hood. Who knew that Bruce was a gangsta rocker. He could have been a rapper. When he talks about his small town. He is really talking about the hood. It was pre crack epidemic. So its not all out hood. It might be more hood now than it was then. But it is hood alright. A new appreciation for the hood rock music Bruce puts out. He had the hood wardrobe in the 80's. Red bandanna. You remember the red bandanna. Yeah maybe he was a blood.,
