I actually liked this guy quite a bit up until the mid-80s; I think the Dancing in the Dark video was the last straw. But listening again now, most of his vocals are so overwrought he sounds like he singing while he's sitting on the toilet, constipated.
Never got it on this Jersey Jerk, Springsteen. Never watch him in any format and his music sounds to me as little more than an adverising jingle. He is a phony, just another hypocrite like those other Jersey Jerks, the 9/11 Jersey Girls, so stupid as to support the D-Rats who actually facilitated the 9/11 murder of their spouses, and will do so again if given an opportunity. When did people become so dumb and vacuous???
Pop Culture, a disease of choice, it's beyond belief.
Springsteen was the Boss until my female roommate decided he had a "cute ass". I swore off Bruce after that. He became another Michael Bolton.
