1. Did you ever see the Ben Stiller skit on Bruce
"the hardest working man in show business" ? I laughed my ass off.

2. I agree, but I don't listen to rock music...ever.
The worst was when I lived in NJ where he IS considered quite the deity.

7. Never did like his stuff.
I like music and lyrics that have a raw edge; such as Dylan, Lennon, Paul Simon, Townes Van Zandt, to name a few. Something about these guys really touches me emotionally.

Springsteen has never had that effect on me. I sense in his music an attempt to artificially force these feelings which, frankly, offends me.

His music always says to me: "lite rock with a phony edge".

I will admit he is a good musician, but that isn't enough for me.

10. Wasn´t it Bette Midler who said, "Bruce Springsteen, I knew
him when his arms were only as big as his cord changes!"

11. I never liked him 'til I saw him in concert
on the Born in the USA tour. I was quite impressed. He works his (fine) ass off on stage, that's for sure. And the E-Street Band was pretty impressive.
