""But it doesn't diminish at all my enjoyment of him as an artist and a performer.""

Am I the only child of the 60's & 70's who doesn't enjoy Bruce Springsteen? I've never understood the Springsteen cult.

Bruce Springsteen has always sucked. He needs more cowbell.

No, I’ve never understood his cult status either, particularly after checking out the lyrics of his songs. I think it may have something to do with his reportedly putting money back into his community.

The highways are jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive who think Springsteen sucks.

I've never gotten the whole New Jersey music scene - Springsteen, Bon Jovi, lots and lots of boring, over-produced power ballads. It all sounded old when Bruce was young. I did like Nebraska - spare, simple and pure - but Springsteen apparently doesn't want to try recording like that again.

Never like Springsteen music or the concert clips I’ve seen. His on-stage behavior seems so mannered or something.

Nope, I grew up in the ‘70s and ‘80s and thought he was a big jerk.

Never liked him or his style. He has two or three catchy tunes such as "Glory Days"
Other than those........boring boring boring

Yeah, his "singing" sounds like the dry heaves to me.

No, I am also one. Springsteen is nothing more than a Commie,Junkie,Adulterer. Why anyone pays attention to these “celebtards” is beyond me.
