I really am a huge fan of Bruce Springsteen
I don't fancy his "union" leftist lyrics and I know some of his stuff is almost cheesy, but he's one of the most passionate songwriters and performers of all time, when he hits the stage - he steals the show, he's always putting up the best show out there.
First time I heard "Born in the USA" was when I was a kid and I felt like a yankee right away, long years after did I figure out the lyrics was meant to be exactly the opposite then what it became.
But I just read a Rolling Stone interview with Bruce, he was so dedicated to what he did, he did it on 250 pct., that's what I admire so much.
Bruce is my hall of famer
