Bruce at The Super Bowl....


I thought he was great. The song selection, energy and showmanship all first rate. It had a carnival, circus vibe going on. Appropriate for the venue I think.

Whilst Springsteen has clearly been influenced by Dylan-he certainly doesn't want to be him, he has carved his own route.
Utter nonsense.
OK, maybe I engaged in a little hyperbole, and, yes, Bruce has carved his own route. But I think there's a lot of truth in what I said.

Nobody is Dylan, and I can't think of somebody better to aspire to be. Bruce didn't invent it, but, yes, has refined it to his own style. It seems that 98% of his fans don't see that, and think that Bruce originated it. I realize I'm shifting my argument from the artist to his fans, but so be it.

I stand by my opinion, including the facts that Bruce is extremely talented, a great songwriter, and great live.
how can anyone imagine that Springsteen and Dylan can be compared? Why would you want to? When I think Dylan I think folk music icon and when I think Springsteen I think radio personality. apples and oranges IMO
I think 1 recording of our scared music should be used before games.....I am tired of it sounding like "Show time at the Apollo" or other often silly takes on a National Anthem......its sad.

I agree totally.

We do it because it's fun and interesting!
