You're right, Bruce has not done anything worthwhile since 1980's "The River." I used to be a huge fan, but lost interest after he jumped the shark with the dreadful "Born In The USA." With the exception of 1987's "Tunnel Of Love," it has been a continuous downward spiral right up to the latest piece of dreck, "The Rising." If he was putting out anything interesting now, it would almost be upsetting that one so talented could be so politically deluded, but as he is now a has-been, who cares?

Yep, it's been a long time since I've cared about Springsteen's downward spiral (as far as album quality is concerned), but now I'd actually be diappointed if he released something like Born to Run or Darkness on the Edge of Town. But it ain't gonna happen.
