He is right, Springsteen is 100% pretentious. This is a guy who openly admits he never held a job yet he goes around pushing the blue collar working class image when in fact he’s a rich elitist liberal.

If he cared one scintilla for the middle class he sure as hell wouldn’t be fanatically supporting the Rat party. When Trump was POTUS he relentlessly bashed Trump even though Trump set records in the economy and employment. Where is Springsteen now that his boy Biden is in power putting the middle class through absolute hell?

Anyone hear Springsteen protest the price of gas? Protest inflation? I drive a truck for a living, diesel is now almost $7 a gallon on the east coast. I don’t see Bruce sending me a check to cover for it.

Actually Bruce briefly worked selling surfboards in Belmar.

I can see recording some "working class hero" material if it's something you've observed and can bring attention to in song - Billy Joel's "Allentown" and "Downeaster Alexa" are examples. When a performer tries to force that into their identity and it doesn't fit, people notice.

The audience can also sense when the working-class stuff is genuine, too... performers like Jim Croce didn't have to do the hard sell. Even Tom Petty had a more authentic working-class vibe than Bruce.
