The young Boss was killer, a man born to rock. He started losing me when he became a serious man and I was gone when he became the socially conscious muscleman. Who needs that?

The rest of it does nothing for me. I did see him live and appreciated his tribute to the late Johnny Cash who had just passed by opening up with "I walk the Line." The rest of the show was just OK for me.
