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.

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!
Hey I'm a Springteen fan and their were no signs of Dylan at the Super Bowl. However, I can't understand why Bruce and Little Stevie/Silvio thought it would be fun to perform as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards instead of themselves. It got even more interesting when Bruce began to spin his guitar around his shoulder. I think he was sending a message to Steven Tyler!
