How about Terry? Sometimes it seems like a guy. Except when he's laying in the dark like an angel on Bruce's chest.

― Mark (Mark R), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 13:16 (seventeen years ago) link

in the cold light of dawn, i have to say that spanish johnny is my favorite.

― a_p (a_p), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:05 (seventeen years ago) link

still unmentioned: kyle william, johnny 99, the chicken man, wayne, go-cart mozart.

― a_p (a_p), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Every song on Greetings has a gang of like, ten dudes.

― Mark (Mark R), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Such hacky, cliched names! (Just like all those crap Hollywood action movies where the hero's always named Jack.) Pure "West Side Story". Would it have killed him to show a little imagination and conjure up a Preston or a Clifford? Or if those are too WASPy, even a nice down-to-earth Doug would be a refreshing change.

And as for "Spanish Johnny": Wouldn't "Juan" make more sense?

puerto rican jane oh wont you tell me whats your name

― 69 (pete), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyone up in this bitch gonna show love for the Magic Rat?

And don't get me started about the Dude from LA in the Camaro. Bruce drove that Camaro off his back and stole his girl, although in hindsight that was most likely a mistake, because now she sits on the porch of her daddy's house with torn dreams and eyes that hate for just being born. Just being born, people!!!!

B-Side dude: Johnson Lanier from "Shut out the Light". His family called him John. He couldn't move his hands.

― Mark (Mark R), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

and what about Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knees Willie and Big Bones Billy? Are Little Dynamite and Little Gun people?

― max (maxreax), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 17:35 (seventeen years ago) link

There gonna be there.

Jimmy the Saint

That pure American brother had a Chevy stocked Super 8 which he used to ride low on the hip. On the side it said Bound For Glory in red white and blue flash paint. Poor son of a bitch never should have driven into that hurricane.

"terry" is a guy i think...i always heard backstreets as a gay epic

― bell labs (bell_labs), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Why WOULDN'T Little Dynamite and Little Gun be people?!

― Allyzay heard you got beat up in a club. (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 19:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Ralph (Johnny 99's real name)
Mean John Brown (the judge in Johnny 99)

― fritz wollner (fritz), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 19:46 (seventeen years ago) link

This thread makes me depressed because I couldn't name one dude from a Bruce Springsteen song but could probably name like twenty from Les Claypool songs. That is something worth being depressed over.

Bad Scooter!

Yes. A catalogue of "Spirit in the Night":

The Mission Man
