I basically agree. Not a popular opinion around here. I think his first 4 albums are a remarkabe story arc.

Asbury Park: Young kid in the city, getting in trouble but just having a good time.
E Street Shuffle: Young man trying to grow up in the city
Born to Run: Young man scared that he’s down to his last chance and the city just might swallow him.
Darkness on the Edge of Town: Man who blew it and lost any chance he ever had.

To me, with The River, Springsteen segued into a rather ugly, “Wheeeeeeeeeee! I’m a superbig rockstar!” vibe and I stopped paying any attention to him.

“He’s fake Americana for fake Americans.”

Excellent description.

I have watched a number of those on Amazon Prime. Most are very good. The last one I watched was Paul Butterfield Blues Band.

I’ve heard his version exactly once. I can’t believe anyone thought that screeching pile of dung was good enough to rewrite and re-record. The Manfred Mann version is far far better.

Can you guess I can’t stand Springsteen. He’s a lousy human and a worse entertainer.

"He’s fake Americana for fake Americans."

So true.

In His justice, the Lord makes some people blind, and the Lord makes other people mute. Unfortunately in Springsteen's case there was a mix-up.

Bruce way good until’79. The River was the last thing worth listening to. Yeah, I know...but I thought Born in the USA was the beginning of Bruce being unlistenable. He became full of himself and tried to put out messages. He never go his Ashbury Park roots back.

Which is exactly what he did to his first wife. What he saw in that butt-ugly backup singer is beyond me but it showed just what sort of “man” he truly is...

At one time I would have read this story. Even after knowing what a democrap douche bag Bruce was I gave him a pass, one of very few artists I still enjoyed.

However .. .. ..... Events of the last few months involving Douche Springsteen have permanently put him in the circular file no matter what the topic.

He’s a rich elitist punk who can’t sing.

“Stolen Car” from The River album is one of his five best songs, in my humble opinion. It probably belongs on another album.
