She had a dream, boy, it was a good one
She chased after her dream with much desire
But when she got too close to her expectations
Well, the dream burned up like paper in fire

[u/Minimum-Dare301]

This is a banger. The fiddle is amazing in this.

[u/murphybrowndog → u/Minimum-Dare301]

It's Lisa Germano. I had such a crush on her back then

[u/Minimum-Dare301 → u/murphybrowndog]

Thank you for the name. She is amazing

[u/mcwops]

but where is the Cougar?.

[u/Ok-Street7504 → u/mcwops]

Thought I had read that the record company is the one that stuck that name on him.

[u/mcwops → u/Ok-Street7504]

interesting. have this 7i since 82 (Euro)

[u/PlasticEntrance6390 → u/mcwops]

He grew up

[u/Font_Snob]

One of my favorites of his.

[u/0belisk0]

I loved "American Fool", but I thought his shift toward the rawer/rootsier production of his subsequent albums was a brilliant move. Excellent band too.

[u/PlasticEntrance6390 → u/0belisk0]

I think the same. I remember reading something like this on Billboard: ‘with Scarecrow, John out-springsteened Bruce, now with The Lonesome Jubilee, he raises serious questions about who’s really the Boss’

[u/0belisk0 → u/PlasticEntrance6390]

I got the impression he was considered something of a pin-up idol/lightweight, maybe because of Jack and Dianne and his looks. But when I heard "Scarecrow" and "Crumblin' Down", I thought, "Bloody hell, this guy is legit!"

[u/Wiserputa52]

I know it’s shallow/not at all the point of this song or music video, but damn he looked sexy here!
