Hey Bruce:

1) At some point you’ve made enough money.
2) You didn’t build that, you had help(E Street Band)
3) Spread the wealth —Your Royalties!
4) If you care so much for people, why charge so much for tickets?
5) Roy Orbison sang about the lonely and he was also a republican.
6) Useful Idiots are often the 1st to be eliminated

That said, Born to Run is STILL one of my top 5 albums ever.

Bruce was delighted when he signed his first record contract. After he started making a lot of money, however, he decided the contract didn't give him enough money. He went several years without an album because he sued his manager to get out of the contract. His defense was, essentially, that he wasn't bright enough to know what he was signing.

I've been a big fan for >25 years but it has always seemed odd for him to put himself out there like he is the representative of the little guy when he is chasing the dollar as much as anyone.
