Finally! Something to love about Millenials.

I hated Springsteen before hating Sprinsteen was cool.

That is to say, back in the '70s and '80s.

[2banana]

And, oh yeah - the “boss” is a flaming liberal hypocrite...

[gorush]

What's not to hate?

I remember back in the '70's when both Time and Newsweek had him on their covers in successive weeks. I hadn't heard of him yet he was apparently the newest greatest thing...then I heard him. Granted Bob Dylan and Tom Waits both became famous as well but I'll take either of them over Springsteen any day.

Bruce Springsteen’s music sucks — a real stench in the ear!

The only good thing about that band was Steve Van Zandt — not his playing, but the fact that his visibility from playing with Springsteen landed him the gig playing Sylvio on the Sopranos.

That Springsteen ever sold a single album is completely amazing to me.

[dfwgator]

Awww, now look what he's done, he's gone and made Governor Christie sad.

[FlJoePa]

Give me Southside Johnny any day. He did the Stone Pony/Jersey thing just as good without all the drama.

I’m not much of a measure of popular opinion but I can’t find anything the least bit interesting or attractive about either Sinatra or Springsteen.

"Every few weeks or so, I’ll be talking to someone at a bar or club or house party, and the conversation will inevitably turn toward Bruce Springsteen."

LOL! I've been in my share of bars in the last 45 years, and this has never happened to me!

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Springsteen has his jerky qualities, but “The River” is about as good as rock and roll gets.

[Revolting cat!]

New Jersey. Enough said.

[sauropod]

How about because he’s a Leftist tool, insists on reading Krugman, and his music SUCKS!

I was in my early teens when "everybodys got a hungry heart" came out. Even then I thought "now that's a stupid, silly , pointless song." And what's more the singing style sounded cheap and affected. The only thing I liked of his was "blinded by the light" and that was when it was covered by Manfred Mann.

He sounds like a mashed cat. ugh, never liked him.

[sauropod]

Watch a few of his shows on YouTube, then look me in the eye and tell me he doesn’t fit into your life, somehow; that he doesn’t make you feel exhilarated and overwhelmed and joyful and heartbroken and hot-blooded and alive.

I looked the idiot writer in the eye. He's been measured and found wanting.

[ilovesarah2012]

Used to like his music but he is an insane liberal. I can do without him.

[Albion Wilde]

I skeeve from Springsteen because he sold out long, long ago. When he started out, playing college auditoriums and clubs the size of my living room on the Jersey shore, I was one of his first fans. I went backstage to meet him. I called him on the phone when he was appearing on college radio stations. I loved his musicianship on the first two albums. He had great originality. Then came the "Born in the USA" era, he began to mimic all the loud, loud bands, the driving beat, and the amplifiers the size of sports cars stacked three high. I was taken so by surprise by that at the Tower Theater in Philly that I think my slight hearing loss happened at that concert. But I was still willing to give him an open mind until he dumped his wife and went off with his electric violinist. I really don't care that they have stayed together.

And all that was even before his ridiculous sell-out to the Social Democrat Union Labor Grievance Entitlement Party.

Ptui.

[Revolting cat!]

Can we impeach Bruce Springstein?

[panzer_grey]

Springsteen’s real problem is that he has not aged well at all. As a songwriter he penned some great hits, just listen to Southside Johnny and Patti Smith. Some people love the way he performs while many others know he sucks.

[SaxxonWoods]

I’m a musician. Play for fun now, used to do session work, have played for recording artists.

BS (I like that) has written one good song. “The Fever”, which he wrote for Southside Johnny.
