Bruce
Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen was blue
collar before it was cool.
This Jersey boy has written
and performed so awesome
songs, he has to play concerts
that are at least three hours
long. His concerts are epic
and “Born To Run” sounds
just as good in a dive bar in
Hoboken as it does in concert
(well, not really but both
involve being around sweaty
Jersey natives who sing at the
top of their lungs). Despite
the fact that Springsteen has
been making music since the
late 60s, he’s never been
uncool. In fact, he might have
even gotten cooler. He’s
never had big metal hair,
he’s never come out with a
gimmicky movie, and he
doesn’t cover Lady Gaga. He
also isn’t a pretentious
jerk, even though he could be
if he wanted to be and people
would still love his music.
Recently “The Ghost of Tom
Jode” and “Working On a
Dream” earned him critical
acclaim and even radio air
play (so it was mostly on
public radio, at least it
wasn’t the adult
contemporary station).
When you think about
Americana, you think of Bob
Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Bruce
Springsteen. If you don’t,
you’re clearly not from New
Jersey.
