Live set captures Bruce's decade
By Leo LaCoste
Special to the Collegian
After years of waiting, wanting, hoping
and praying, fans of Bruce Springsteen
have received an early Christmas present
in the release of a new40-song retrospective
set.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street
Band Live 11975-85 is a compilation for
everyone who professes to be a fan of The*
Boss or anyone who appreciates good
rock'n'roll.
TMe five-album boxed set is a study of
the evolution of Springsteen as a song¬
writer and musician.
a The 40 songs are arranged to show how
Springsteen's music has evolved from
escapism to responsibility, from roman¬
ticism to realism, from isolation to
community. /--^
The set opens with a simple and beautiful*
rendition of "ThundeT Road," recorded at
the Roxy in Los Angeles, Oct. 18, 1975.
This cut comes from a time before fans
had every word to "Thunder Road"
memorized.
It  features  Springsteen  singing and
playing harmonica to Roy Bittan's soulful
.    piano without painful interruption from a
guitar.
With"Thunder Road,"Springsteen has
created two of his most memorable charac¬
ters — a pair of lonely lovers searching to
•escape.
Well the night's busting open/ These two
lanes will take us anywhere/ We've got
one last chance to make it real/ To trade
in these wings on some wheels/ Climb in
back/ Heaven's waiting down on the
track/ Oh-oh come take my hand/ We're
riding out tonight to case the promised
land/ ...It's a town full of fosers/ And I'm
pulling out of here to win/
With "Thunder Road," The Boss speaks
to millions of yc ung adults seeking refuge
and escape from the real world.
To a true devotee, the.set is worth the
S20 to $40 price tag (depending on whether
you purchase the record, tape or CD set)
for this version of "Thunder Road"alone.
Most of Springsteen's songs create
characters and tell stories. "Thunder
Road" is only one example.
In his introduction of "Growing Up,"
Springsteen recounts his teen years and
the conflicts he had with his parents,
especially his father.
"There were two things that were unpop¬
ular at our house: me and my guitar...For
my father, it was never the Fender guitar
or the Gibson guitar. It was always the
goddamned guitar," Springsteen tells the
July 7. 1977 crowd at the Roxy in his
monologue interruption of "Growing Up."
Springsteen fought hard for his' indepen-
■ ■ |
dence. He wasn't going to live up to
someone else's expectations, even his
parents'dream that he become^ lawyer or
author. . ,   ^.   •
In "Independence Day," Springsteen
sings:
Well. Papa go to bed now it's getting late/
Nothing wc can say is gonna change
anything now/ IH'oeleaving in the morn¬
ing from St. Mary's Gate/ We wouldn't
change this thing even if we could some¬
how.../ Now I dont know what it always
was with us/ We chose the words and yeah
we drew the lines/ There was just no way
this house could hold the two of us/ I
guess we were too much^ of the same
k i nd... / So say good bye it *s 1 ndependence
Day/ Papa now I know the things you

Bucket called off-limits
to some food servicers
By Dan Waterhouae
Contributing Writer
A customer 21 or older can walk into
The Bucket and ask the barkeep to draw
a beer, unless the that customer is a non-
student Food Services employee.
The Daily Collegian has learned that
non-student Food Services employees are
subject to immediate termination if they
patronize The Bucket when not working
on campus. According to one employee.'
there is a policy that "The Bucket is for the
students only."
On the other hand, faculty and staff
members and campus visitors freely use
The Bucket, and thc on-campus beer and
wine bar has staged events which attract
non-students, such as the free Bucket
Dance featuring Fantas/on Nov. 20.
One ex-Bucket employee, who asked
that his name not bc used, said, "Sure,
there's a policy. What it means is< that
people like Cindy (a non-student em¬
ployee) can't come into The Bucket after
getting off work, have some beers and stay
for Swing Band." He added. "Any Food
Services employee who isn't a student who
comes in here when they're not working
will be immediately fired."
A representative from the California
Department of Fair Employment and
Housing said while it "does not appear
that any state laws have been violated, it
(the policy) does appear to be unfair." He
said affected employees could and should
work with management to change it, and
then, if Those efforts fail, could pursue
legal action.
On Nov. 24, this writer saw Janice
Morales, manager of The Bucket, refund
money to a customer and reclaim his liter
of Chablis wirie. The customer, asked why
his money had been refunded, said, "My
girlfriend works here. She is getting off
work and we were going to have some
drinks. She (Morales) told me she couldn't
drink here — she isn't a student — so I
asked her (Morales) for my money back."
Efforts by The Daily Collegian to get
Food Services' side of the story have been
unsuccessful. Rick Finley. director of Food
Services, did not return telephone calls
about this story, and his secretary was
reluctant even to give The Daily Collegian
Morales' full name.
