The filthy Boss…

Starbucks in the US have decided not to sell Bruce Springsteen‘s new Devils And Dust CD citing explicit lyrics. Here are the lyrics for Reno, the song they cited. They have a point: She took off her stockings I held ’em to my face She had your ankles I felt filled with grace Two hundred […]
