Yeah real man of the people just like new boss same as the old boss.

Yes I agree with you.I think its true to say that most people I know either love Springsteen or dislike him intensly,I've met very few who don't have strong views.I think people either buy the working class hero he paints or they don't, because as much as I like him it is all he has.

Yeah but that raises more questions bearing in mind his relationship with his father.A friend of mine who knows I like Springsteen just text me saying Bruce makes lifting crates sound noble when its really ucking hard graft.He is firmly in the fraud camp.

His detractors say he has built a career on a mythology of the blue collar worker."I work five days a week,lifting crates down at the dock" While he has never in his own words ever done a days work in his life.

Live he is at the top of the pile.On record these 3,Born To Run,Darkness and the River stand as his great works since then he can be hit and miss.As a fan how do others answer the great Springsteen fraud comment that his detractors always throw up?
