All that said, I'd still rather see a Bruce Springsteen concert than a Taylor Swift concert.

Springsteen's "Nebraska" and "Tunnel Of Love" albums are among the best albums ever recorded. But he's no blue collar hero. Pretty much his entire adult life, he's been in the top one percent. He even owns horse farms.

I never got hung up on the blue collar schtick. Even Bob Dylan portrayed himself as some blue collar guy. Just like John Mellencamp, Tom Petty and Bob Seger for other examples. It's all just an act. But if the music is good, the music is good.

Even Bob Dylan portrayed himself as some blue collar guy.

Well, in fairness, Dylan probably comes from a school of fold where you take on a different persona in different songs.
