Very good song but too lengthy. It'd be twice as good if half as long, imo.

This guy's catalogue is quite varied, but that doesn't make it good to me.

I liked his stuff when I was 5 years old (seriously - especially the "Born in the USA" tape - my first!), and after that didn't really care for his music all that much.

Appearantly he donates lots o' dough around Jersey, though, and that's pretty cool. Just as long as he's not singing while he does so.

It's okay, but I'm really scratching my head at all the effusive praise. "Classic!" "An instant 10!"

Oh, you are missing something. What's not to like? I can understand puzzlement over the "boss" label, but how can you not understand these lyrics? And an "everyman" quality is what most artists -- of any genre -- strive to reach. This man has it in spades.

Although I've seen Bruce in concert years ago, I was never really into his earlier stuff. Not really sure why as I'm starting to like his later music...but I am.

Bruce evolves over the years. I saw him on "The River" tour: best concert I ever saw- out of over 120. Saw him again on "The Rising" different but still amazing. This stuff is way underrated.

I saw Bruce at the L.A. sports arena in 1988 with my, then, girlfriend, who hailed from NYC and was a huge Springsteen fan. It was easily the best concert I've been to. I can imagine a great performer, perhaps, equalling Bruce. But better? No chance. And my girlfriend said his early shows, from the 70's, were even better!

I think the whole Springsteen thing can be summed up in the way he reaches the average, everyday working Joe; the guy who's struggling from paycheck to paycheck, hoping that, one day, he's going to find all the promises of the good life. Springsteen expresses that ordeal so perfectly. He nails it squarely. And he delivers it, especially in concert, with an honest, intense passion that is unsurpassed.


Like you said, it isn't easy to imagine a greater perfomer than Bruce Springsteen, in rockmusic and I can't think of a better way to describe the sort of person he did it for, through the years.

I've had some friends who have always said to me, oh you have to listen to his lyrics, you'll love his lyrics.

Sorry, but if I can't get into the tune, then what's the point of listening to the lyrics? I might as well read poetry then, eh?

Why have lyrics if they are irrelevant? I think it has to be the whole package. If a song has lyrics, they matter. As for Bruce, the man exudes integrity and that's what people are tapping into. That, along with the energy.

Ditto... I always get this mental picture of Sylvester Stallone behind a microphone.

I don't get the lyrics, I don't get the "everyman" quality, I just don't get why he's called the "boss".

The little Springsteen music I've listened to has never made me think I was missing anything.
