Why is it that I think that if Bruce Springsteen was a life-long Republican, served in the military and belonged to the NRA that people would be tripping over each other to come here and post about what a musical genius he is?

The fact is that although Bruce Springsteen is a horse's ass when it comes to politics, he is truly one of the great recording artists of our time. His recent album "Magic" is proof that he hasn't lost his touch over the years. Any true fan of music would have to acknowledge that this was one of the top albums of 2007.

When history is written about “The Boss” it will be a footnote in some Who's Who book. He's equivalent to a Neil Young, some good songs but forgettable in the end.

You might be right; however, I wondered what all the fuss was about back in the 80's when I first heard him.

Really, I was never able to acquire any kind of liking for his music (except for Born in the USA).

Now Segar! - I've been a fan of his forever!
