” I don’t think anybody can be enthralling for four hours on stage playing rock & roll.”
It is not indulgent to play 4 hour shows. Springsteen doesn’t have to do it yet he does it for his fans. Who wants to give up the time and money for a 20 minute show?
The Rolling Stones music is quite simplex and sloppy. Then you have a complex act like Pink Floyd that can spend 20 minutes on one song. What a simpleton like Keith Richards calls pretentious I call interesting, deep and complex. But I understand that Keith doesn’t get that nor does he need to. His record speaks for itself. Hats off to him.
I am not a big Springsteen fan as I find Bruce’s music a bit mediocre for my tastes but to each his own. However he writes great lyrics. I remember reading them back in the day when the lyrics were on the album liner.
Give me ‘The Who!’
