Bozo is the Brotherhood of Zips and Others. Bozos are people who band

They're the huge, fat, middle waist. The archetype is an Irish drunk

I remember thinking somewhere around the mid seventies that Springsteen and the E Street Band, was like a version of Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy.
But Phil Lynott did it with a lot less verses.
And this was from this side of the Atlantic, it took a long while to appreciate Springsteen more, perhaps 30 years longer.

One hundred years ago today, downtown Santa Barbara was devastated by an earthquake centered just offshore.
The main commercial district, State Street, was in ruins. Some buildings completely collapsed
— the vulnerability in their designs laid bare by the power of Mother Nature. Around a dozen people died.
Yet, despite the destruction, the great Santa Barbara earthquake remains relatively obscure, seismically speaking,
even in a state notorious for its shaking.
