Springsteen is about as much of a songwriter as Britney Spears. And no..he didn't sell out his Boston shows or his LA shows..or his chicago shows. The guys is a loser and his fans are either tone deaf or mentally retarded. ]]>

Not being Right Wing = no talent. Only in the blogosphere. ]]>

I love Springsteen still. To say he has no talent is ridiculous. Like Dylan his songs really draw you in to a world all their own. He's like the Steinbeck of rock-n-roll, and I was saying this long before he came out with the ghost of tom joad. I do wish he wouldn't sully himself with the partisan politics--just like Steinbeck himself did when he was shilling for LBJ vis-a-vis Vietnam. ]]>

I don't know about New Jersey, but his shows in Los Angeles, Boston, and Chicago were overwhelmed with empty seats. The guy truly gives meaning to the words "no talent." ]]>

I'm an old-school guy (Hell, some would argue that I'm just old) and firmly believe that rock and roll was never meant to answer the questions of the universe. Rock & roll and politics make for very strange bedfellows indeed. I'm a Springsteen fan, but one of the rare ones who never put the guy on any sort of pedestal. I'll be the first to admit that his late 70's and early 80's concerts were some of the best I've ever seen(and I've seen a few), but I also maintain enough of a grip on reality to realize that most, if not all, of his albums since "Born In The U.S.A." fall on the wrong side of memorable. I disagree that he exploited 9/11 in any way and while I didn't really care much for "The Rising," at least it doesn't plumb new depths of musical blandness, embrace the corporate dollar, or reverberate with the unmistakable sound of a millionaire's pension plan being topped up. ]]>

I love when people stopped attending his concerts and stopped buying his albums Um, Jill, you do know that he sold over 550,000 tickets at Giants Stadium alone last year, right? You sure don't have to like his politics, but his career seems to be doing just fine. ]]>

I guess you aren't aware that Springsteen doesn't need any more money. He was one of many muscians to write about 9/11 and the album was hardly exploitive. You may not like his politics, but he certainly has talent. ]]>

Bruce Springsteen is so talentless it's sick. I love when people stopped attending his concerts and stopped buying his albums, he exploited 911 for every penny it was worth. That guy should be ashamed of himself as well as his idiotic fans for listening to his so called "Music." ]]>
