Bruce Springsteen,

Never have "got it" when it comes to him. Can't sing for crap,A tomcat looking for love sounds better.
Barely cracks my "top ten" list for guitarists, I can think of 9, that could blow him off the stage
on a bad night, with both hands in casts and, playing off handed. One of them was
in his own band.
The only one of his songs I could ever listen too more than once, was mainly because
of Clarence Clemmons.
Plus the fact He is so far to the left, He makes Karl Marx look like a right wing extremist,
doesn't really make the case.

Anybody?

There is no explanation. Can only delete, reformat and reload and hope it works. Otherwise take it to the range for target practice.

Something about the Jersey shore in the 70's.

Like many entertainers, I can enjoy some of his music (he had a great band), and I ignore most of the garbage he spews when there is no music.

I have enjoyed some of Sean Penn's work, but can't think of a single intelligent thing to come out of him when he isn't performing.

Chicks dig him, which only makes it worse. But I can't stand his music or political drivel either. I also don't understand the whole "New Jersey" attraction with him and these stupid TV shows I hear about. Never watched 'em, don't even know the names of the shows, but something about a "Snookie" and some housewives? Isn't digging New Jersey kinda like digging Pittsburgh, or Cleveland? The place never impressed me any.

Well it seems my girlfriend left me
Lost my job and got kicked out of the house
So here's a song i wrote about...............................my car.

The guy's from jersey, dyed in the denim liberal. Decent music shitty politics.

IF i only listened to music, watched a movie, or tv series, by someone who has the same political leaning as me. I doubt i would have been subject to anything cultural wise. Sad isn't it.

Oh, I'm willing to admit, I can "tolerate" some of the early stuff. But everything post "Nebraska", Damn dude, seek professional help if your that depressed.

Or, at least a long walk off a short pier.. Personally, given the choice between free Springsteen tickets and $200 AC/DC tickets, I'll find a way to get the $200.

At least I don't feel like slashing my wrists after listening to AC/DC..

I'm sorry.. who is this Springsteen character you speak of?

[Zundfolge]

I don't get it either. His songs are rambling, somewhat depressing "slice of life" songs about a life his wealthy and privileged ass hasn't seen in a long time. I find most of his work more boring than anything else.

I have to admit he's a halfway decent songwriter, but like Dylan I bet his songs would be much better performed by someone else.

[hobowh]

He was big with the troops in the 80's, but he flew to where they were and sang for free, we saw him in Italy and Germany. Now as to his singing ability, I completely agree, but when someone that does a concert in english comes you go just sayin. Oh and he has usually been good for showing up for fundraising things for those in need.

Chris Christie's wet dream.
