Exactly – who cares anymore? What is this 1985 where people actually believed he cared about us?

Bruce is a has-been who dummped the E Street band to play with a bunch of sidemen in the 90’s cause his ego was so out of control.

Hey Bruce…RETIRE!!!!!!!!!!

To “old and dumb” & “Bruce is a self absorbed phony” … who do you listen to ? What bands or artists ? Bet you none of them will have a career as long or good as Springsteens. I bet they are all flash in the pans.

Your so right Natch!! All is listen too is classc rock…real “Flash in the Pans,” huh?

Dude, I was not insuting fans of Bruce or his past music (many of it was GREAT!).

I just don’t like the way he treated his band and I think his days of making great music are long over!

I was not trying to slight you or any Bruce fans!

Point taken. You don’t have to love everything about an artist. If you don’t like the new stuff , so be it.

I just don’t get most of the people on here who think that just cause someone is over 25 they are old and over the hill.

Also artists cannot win. If they only play the old hits then they are deemed old hat. If they play new stuff , people will cry and want the old stuff.

It’s a no win for most artists over a certain age.

He a no good, no account false talkin’ cheap piece of white trash pretending his poop dont stink anymore.

“Old and Dumb”…is that your name? Who cares, you ask? You apparently, because you took the time writing a comment. If you don’t like somebody, fine, then just listen to something else. There’s plenty of cheap, commercial, meaningless bullshit out there for you to take; buy another album from a Spears, Cyrus or anybody else who are produced by a bunch of office geeks with dolalr signs in their eyes. At least artists in Springsteens category have something to say and actually write it themselves.

Change is growth!

what a shame | 3/7/2009, 10:08 pm EST

It is amazing how stupid people are today. Bruce Springsteen is the greatest poet in American history but you uneducated morons would not know that if it bit you in the ass. He writes music and lyrics that make sense not the moronic pablem that you hip hop dolts think is music. That junk is merely low syllabic tribal chanting. But you ying yangs wouldn’t know what that means. What a shame. Let’s see how long it takes you and Obama to run this great country in the ground.

RE: Bruce is a self absorbed phony

I doubt Bruce Springsteen, nor anyone you spew your vitriol over through the safe medium of the internet, is as self absorbed as you. As for who cares anymore, well you clearly do as you took the time to post.

Why not go and focus on something you actually like, and save yourself the ulcer?
