after I read your Bio i genuinely felt like you would like some of the poems i do. I present an understandable message but also leave my poems open enough for self interpretation. hopefully, you dont mind checking me out .

Thank you very much for those, will spend tomorrow going through them and learning them :) 
          
          I have been really trying to play rockaway the days http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7GOkZFOsq4 (its not so well known so there it is if you have not heard it before. I have managed to figure out it is pretty much E, D, A for the most of it. Although am not having a great time trying to get a strumming pattern to fit, so far I am on D, du,du,du (until I am done with that line and then when I get back to E I start with another D) although it doesn't quite feel right to me. 
          
          I will now take up your advice and wipe my strings clean so that they don't rust so quickly. That's pretty impressive playing electric, I have two acoustics and one electric. But I would 100% say I am an acoustic guitarist, much better playing a rhythm on that than on an electric.

Thanks, that should be simple enough to play then :) I assume it is just mostly down strokes on the strumming? 
          
          How long have you been playing guitar?

Ahh yeah, I have the same disappointment but I was miles away from being born (1994) so not really much I could have done about missing that! 
          
          It was seeing Springsteen at hard rock calling last year that led me to start playing guitar. I haven't had a look at them songs yet but I will try and check them out. Would quite like to learn downbound train too. I am told that most of Bruce's playing is not too technical and just a case of practising lots rather than needing great talent. 
          
          The first time I heard Springsteen was when he did the super bowl, I stayed up really late listening to the commentary on my radio and the commentators being English didn't really understand what was going on in the match and they just kept talking about how excited they were to hear this guy called Bruce Springsteen playing at half time. So I stayed up waiting for this after they had bigged him up to biblical proportions and he came on and sung Glory days, working on a dream and born to run and I completely understood why they were worshipping him.

Hey! Yeah massive springsteen fan, I have seen him twice, once at hard rock calling in 2012 and then last year at wembley. I would agree looking at the youtube videos that the 78 tour was brilliant, I love the 78 version of prove it all night! Have you seen him live? Did you catch the 78 tour?

suck my balls

@Bad_Scooter No worries, It was a pleasure in itself just reading your poetry. And good luck!

@NicoleTrushinski Thanks a lot for that :) I will have to investigate in the morning as I keep falling asleep :P I will read your story then when I'm more awake so don't worry I havent forgotten

And I mean publishing. I just realized I replied on the wrong page. 
          

@Bad_Scooter If you ever consider it, check out www.duotrope.com it's a website where you can search all different kinds of publishers. I've submitted short stories and things to a couple there. It's a good place to start.
