Agree with your assessment. Springsteen's politics are typically mindless and hypocritical...which, perhaps would be slightly more forgivable if he had produced a single decent album since 1982. To my ears, Nebraska was the last one that consistently combined musical originality with poetry, heart or soul.

As to his liberal hypocrisy, I suppose any true "working man" like him has to find some little corrugated tin shack in which to hole up and brave the elements...:

And add the horses he owns on his farm that pays very little property tax due to NJ law. His daughter is a top ranked equastrian. Everybody knows that steeplechase is the sport of the working class.
