"Maybe it's a Bruce thing"? - Tue, 9 Sep 2003 10:08pm | ||
| Mac User Info... | The only thing seperating "Cockburn" & "Valdy" is ego.(How Ironic!) Ho,Ho,Ho. - Tue, 9 Sep 2003 10:41pm | ||
| greg User Info... | No, you don't get it. He's a good songwriter, and a great guitar player. - Tue, 9 Sep 2003 10:43pm | ||
| Mac User Info... | There's that "good" word again. (Wink). - Tue, 9 Sep 2003 10:45pm | ||
| ticklefish User Info... | You don't have to be a big fan of Cockburn, but if you ever see him play live, I have been mesmerized watching his hands on the guitar. He fucking kills that instrument. What I swear is a part that has been overdubbed 2 or 3 times is all just two hands - Tue, 9 Sep 2003 11:35pm | ||
| greg User Info... | And your idea of a "great" singer-songwriter is....? - Wed, 10 Sep 2003 9:23am | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | Bruce Cockburn rocks, and you know it... - Wed, 10 Sep 2003 8:45pm | ||
| mac User Info... | You're right, I'm a penis with no musical taste. Sorry, all. - Wed, 10 Sep 2003 11:40pm | ||
| Mac User Info... | Who do I? think is a great Singer/songwriter? Canadian wise.. Joni Mitchell,Gordon Lightfoot,Howie Beck, Randy Bachman,Neil young,Ron Sexsmith,Leonard Cohen. Quite an impressive bunch eh?? No sign of Bruce though..(dunce) - Fri, 12 Sep 2003 9:48pm | ||
| Dinkus User Info... | Mac - You think Valdy and Cockburn are the same level of musical talent? Buddy, who's really the dunce? (Come on, admit it....) - Sat, 13 Sep 2003 12:54am | ||
| some asshole User Info... | Bruce Cockburn, Canadian cock smoker of the ages... - Sat, 13 Sep 2003 2:50pm | ||
| The Ladies Man User Info... | You're some asshole. - Sat, 13 Sep 2003 4:14pm | ||
| some asshole User Info... | I bet you smoke a mean cock yourself. Maybe you should be called " the man's man". - Sat, 13 Sep 2003 5:21pm | ||
| The Ladies Man User Info... | But... that's your handle, right "Some Asshole?" I'm confused. - Sat, 13 Sep 2003 6:02pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | The best part about Bruce Cockburn is that people try to make it seem as though his name is pronounced "Coburn" when it is obviously not. "When Bruce CO-burn sings his newest song...will anybody care?" Probably not. - Sun, 14 Sep 2003 8:15pm | ||
| 'Tit Carl User Info... | His name is pronounced Co-burn you fuck-nut. - Sun, 14 Sep 2003 9:05pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | And your name is pronounced "Wreaker's Weenie Holster". - Tue, 16 Sep 2003 5:34pm | ||
| 'Tit Carl User Info... | Well.. at least I make sense. - Tue, 16 Sep 2003 6:41pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | In fact, you don't make sense because his name is spelled as it sounds...C-O-C-K-B-U-R-N. You must be French if you believe the hype of it being pronounced Coburn. You can't deny the C and the K in there. - Tue, 16 Sep 2003 8:22pm | ||
| 'Tit Carl User Info... | It's pronounced Co-burn you dumb, fucking idiot. How many people have you heard calling him Cockburn, about from your sad, sad dumb-ass self. Cock-burn? Who are you Beavis or Butthead? (Heheheheh. You said Cock.) And beside that, what's your point anyway? That Cockburn is a write off because his name sort of sounds like Cock or something? Go listen to some stupid heavy metal, Mr. Heck. - Tue, 16 Sep 2003 9:27pm | ||
| Gabri~hell User Info... | How about "Co' Burn?" - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 1:18pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | A hell of a lot of people buy Celine Dion's CDs. Does that make it correct to like her music? Then again, you are probably one of the morons who loved the Titanic song.. The proof of how his name is spelled is in front of you. There is no denying this. Last time I checked the name Coburn was spelled C-O-B-U-R-N, not the way Bruce spells it. Plus he sucks. Of course, all I listen to is stupid metal, so what do I know? Not much I guess...except for the fact that I also listen to multitudes of other kinds of music. And the point of me saying so was to get a rise out of one of the people on here with no life and no brain. You fell into the pit. Congratulations! - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 5:17pm | ||
| 'Tit Carl User Info... | I defer to your superior brain and your superior grasp of the English language, Mr. Heck. No why don't you play a few chords, uh, Cu-hords, on your guitar, eh, gwit-tar, for a while? - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 6:21pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Now you're getting the hang of it. While we're on it, it's not battry, it's battery. Fucking shop teachers! Anyone know Bruce's nationality or what his ancestral background is? That would clear it up. I mean, it's obvious that when he was a young asshole musician, he formulated this fib that his name was pronounced Coburn as he was ridiculed and beaten down for his name and nerdy looks. That being said, I am happy to see him succeed with the name he was given. On an added note, I have heard his name pronounced how it is spelled as many times as I have heard it pronounced incorrectly...and not just with my own voice saying so. In the end it is all a matter of opinion. But I am more right than you. - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 6:31pm | ||
| Greg User Info... | Uh, Mr. Hell dude... you're ah, making a fool of yourself. Go home, now. - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 8:18pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Ok, Mr. Greg Serious. Sorry to rain on your serious Cockburn parade. You actually like Bruce, so who's the fool now? - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 8:19pm | ||
| Greg User Info... | You. - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 8:22pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | So you are allowing me into your club. Thanks! Greg, it's people like you who drain the entertainment out of message boards. Go shack up with your buddy Cockburn and don't let us know how it goes. For the sake of finality, the fact is his name is Bruce Cockburn. Case closed. - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 8:23pm | ||
| Gman User Info... | Allllllrrrrrrriiiiiight then. You all put yer pants back on and just mosey on outa here. Gman - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 9:35pm | ||
| Mac User Info... | Gentlemen,gentlemen..This is most unfortunate.One baiting the other,baiting the other over such minutiae! Really! - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 9:55pm | ||
| say what? User Info... | Man, those bass players are almost as dumb as drummers. - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 12:17am | ||
| The Lurker User Info... | I once got a wicked case of cock burn after a fetid night of too much beer, whiskey, and porn. - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 12:51am | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Let me guess, your name is Bruce? And the key word is *almost*. Us bass players are still smarter than everyone else though...you just don't know it yet. - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 7:47am | ||
| say what? User Info... | Maybe you're right, Mr. Hell, but you're just not a very good advertisement for "smart" bass players (e.g. your stupid comments about Cockburn above). - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 9:30am | ||
| Hoffa User Info... | Worcestershire sauce. Pronounced: Worster sauce Gloucester England. Pronounced: Gloster England Neighbour. Pronounced: neybur Cockburn: kobirn Bludgen: blujin I can see by the spelling here Mac that English is beyond some the homphobes that can't help but indulge their most sophmoric desires in these posts. It ends here. - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 4:36pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | As I can plainly see, the majority of people on here take themselves and others way too seriously. What happened to good old fashioned flame wars? You people are pansies. It's like you all have stock invested in the corporation that would be Bruce Cockburn's name. Anyhow, the validity of you judging how intelligent I am is moot due to the fact you are just as stupid as you claim me to be. After all, you are responding to the bullshit. Now go fuck yourself. ;) - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 4:39pm | ||
| Hoffa User Info... | Flame wars ended in 1988 when geeks started petitioning sysops to block offensive posts. Flame wars, mullets, Flock of Seaguls they are all part of the embarassing past. Acne clears up, people grow up and so on. - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 4:46pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Well, that clears it all up for me then! You are all correct. His name is Bruce Coburn. - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 5:18pm | ||
| say what? User Info... | Ha. You lose, Mr. Heck. Apologize, you dork. - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 5:29pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | I'm sorry you are a twit. That's right...Coburn. - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 5:32pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Actually, now I realize how fucked up I am. Sorry all! I'm a bit of a knob. Not much of a "reader" hence my trouble with the Cockburn name. In fact, I'm a bit of a dummy ... call me dumb ass. Sorry, sincerely. I am sincerely sorry ..... - Fri, 19 Sep 2003 5:51pm | ||
| greg User Info... | You dumb ass. - Fri, 19 Sep 2003 5:53pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Yes, greg. I click user info on my most recent posting and I see that you are absolutely correct! Thank you for clearing this up. - Fri, 19 Sep 2003 7:36pm | ||
