Doesn't matter a damn bit . The people who listen to them are basically non voters. College age!!! ( and from the Demorat stronghold states )The quality of Springsteen's concerts have regressed to the point where I leave early . He is so into himself it is nauseating ...
I was just discussing the genre of "blue-collar" bands with the Mr. (BTO, Bad Company, Bob Seger) and I said part of the definition of a blue-collar band is "no makeup, whatsoever, and blue jeans" combined with an utter lack of pretentiousness in their work.
The Mr. said, "Well what about Bruce Springsteen?"
I said, "Bruce thinks he's the ultimate blue-collar rocker, but he's so pretentious and self-aware he's only a parody of the genre."
