[The Scourge of Yazid]

Nothing ticks me off more than when someone compares Springsteen to Bob Seger. For me, that's the equivalent of equating Manet with David Hockney. Yeah, both use watercolors to paint, but that's where the comparisons end.

Seger is a Rock n'Roll legend, with a capital 'R.' Springsteen, on the other hand, is a unoriginal, mewling freak who hasn't written more than half a dozen listenable songs.

Let him organize a protest concert, I could care less. I know I won't be attending that freak-show.

P.S. Does he actually believe he's Tom Joad? What's up with the affected Southern twang? The guy's from freakin' New Jersey.

The guy's from freakin' New Jersey.

Dont' know if he still lives there, but when we were in NJ, he bought a huge house in Rumson, which is a tony area on the Jersey Shore. He's come a long way from Asbury Park.
