I would argue with you about Dylan but you are obviously as stupid as Bruce

Dylan is truly a great artist. There is no way to overstate his contributions to American popular music.

Bruce Springsteen owes his entire career to Dylan, since his whole angle is to be a less complicated, more consciously working-class Dylan: his entire aesthetic embodies the first phase of Dylan's electric period.

Between 1973 and 1981 Springsteen wrote a number of good songs that were less overtly political and more authentic portraits of suburban Jersey life. As he grew more famous and insulated from his upbringing, he lost his ability to write resonant songs.
