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.

"What has Springsteen done in the last twenty years that can measure up to Dylan's last three?

Time Out of Mind
Love and Theft
Modern Times

Truth is, one is still an artist, and one has become a "politically correct" rock star, very much attuned to public opinion."

My response:
The Ghost of Tom Joad
The Rising
Working on a Dream

The *truth* is that what you've said and what I'm saying are simply personal *opinions*.

Re the Walmart thing: did you actually hear the full explanation Springsteen gave for how that happened? I ask because it doesn't sound like it. In any case, as far as I know he makes mistakes just like everyone else I've even encountered in life.
Bg1968:

If it sounded like ****, then there is something wrong with your audio/video system - seriously.
Audiofeil: How is Slothman's comment about John Hammond (who also worked with or discovered Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Billie Holliday, Aretha Franklin, Robert Johnson, etc) irrelevant when what you said was "it's ridiculous to mention Bruce in *any* sentence with Bob Dylan"? (my emphasis).

This whole thread is **opinion**; who we like and dislike, etc., including John Hammond's opinion (who happened to love Springsteen's music). Would you really think it fair if someone simply called one of your opinions irrelevant? I respect your right to disagree; but irrelevant?
