He's better than you'd expect for a band playing a seedy biker bar in Asbury Park, New Jersey.

I have his first three albums. Everything he's done since, eh.

Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen are 3th tier acts looking for exposure.

Oh, who cares? I will get to hear Springsteen. I do not care anything about Bon Jovi or Christina...but I do love Bruce.

Have at it.

Me, I'd as soon have a double (impacted) wisdom teeth extraction (absent any novacaine) then listen to that senile, old, has been, commie, so called, entertainer, who in his prime (when I lived in New Jersey) was overated and stunk!

There was no bigger Springsteen fan than me at age 17. I waited in line for hours in below freezing weather to see him for the first time. Saw him 3 times since then.

At the last concert I attended in 2002 he went into a 15 minute rant about how the Bush administration was endangering our personal liberties and freedoms. He didn’t provide any evidence or proof of this, even though he had written the whole speech down and was reading it from 3x5 cards. What a putz.

After the rant, he said “but it doesn’t matter what party you are, everyone is welcome here.” I paid almost $100 for my ticket so I could hear some great music and was instead subjected to 15 minutes worth of insults and attacks. I certainly did not feel “welcome”.

Springsteen is a hypocrite who crawls out from his gigantic estate among the 1% in New Jersey horse country in order to try to appear relevant whenever there is an event like this telethon. It almost made me vomit when he campaigned for the “everymen” John Kerry and John Edwards - themselves also big millionaire hypocrites, two of the richest people in Congress at the time going around trying to spread everyone else’s wealth around.

I would be surprised if one of the telethon celebrities doesn’t put a plug in for their messiah Obama on the TV show tonight, but I hope Springsteen and the others raise a lot of money for this good cause and not get into politics.

As for me, I am still waiting for the hypocrite phony Springsteen to give me my $100 back.

I’m not the least bit surprised that you don’t care. Anybody who thinks Mochelle is a “lovely women” would love Springsteen.

Anyone with as many dressers, personal assistants, stylists and make up artists as MO has could be a lovely woman, too. Something like 20 people or some such.

My opinion of Springsteen is apolitical. And..not surprising you? I was not trying to. Does not bother me one little bit. Not one iota.

Me too...inasmuch as hoping they raise alot of money and they do not get into the politics. Some things are just not about politics...such as hurricanes. Maybe we will get lucky and he will just....sing.

Springsteen jumped the shark back in the 80’s. After “Born in the USA” success, his head got big. He thought he was Woodie Guthrie, Peter Seger, Phil Ochs and Pete, Paul and Mary rolled up in one person. He has stunk big time since then. Last 25 years spent feeding his own ego. I got his 1st 6 albums, I really liked those disks.
