re: What Is This Board's Opinion of Springsteen?

I vehemently disagree with his politics but there's absolutely no denying that he's one of the best all time performers. I think that his peak was The River tour in 1980. I saw him in Phoenix that year and it was a balls to the wall 5 1/2 hour set. Even now at 64, he blows away people half his age. He's always willing to reinvent himself and his music and if you see him constantly, his shows are always different. The funny thing about the haters who say, "Bruce sucks, so and so is better...most of those "so and sos" are huge Bruce fans.
