So before I start the story I’ll just apologize ahead of time if you are a fan. I am not but didn’t know I hereditarily passed the hatred down until today. Had a a meeting with counselors at my sons school today. Routine thing we do once a year just to make sure he isn’t falling behind in anything. Teachers each sent notes to the meeting and most were just usual stuff. “He is fine” ”well behaved” “no problems” Now some of you know how he is with his knowledge of music and it’s not limited to the Grateful Dead. I’d put him up against just about anyone in music trivia of 50’s 60’s and 70’s music. Anyhow then we get to his radio teachers comments ”Luke is very enthusiastic in my class and is a joy to teach.......... except when he often debates me telling me how Bruce Springsteen sucks and how overrated he is” I laughed through the whole meeting after that. Literally shed tears and offered to excuse myself. 😆😂😆 Again sorry if the Boss is your guy but I had to share somewhere.

This is exactly why God invented Vanilla AND Chocolate ice cream. We all have different tastes. I believe they all bow their heads to Dylan, though.

Love the Band’s version of Atlantic City He also wrote blinded by the light. Chuck please don’t compare Bruce to Bob. Defend him all you want but Bruce Springstien will never be the songwriter or anywhere’s close to the level of songwriter that Dylan is in. Simply another class. I certainly wasnt tryin to rag on him. I don’t change the channel when his songs come on the radio. I usually sing along.

I used to tell my daughter when she’d get feelings hurt as a friend buddied up and she felt left out in that moment that she was an amazing hot fudge sundae and just because someone felt like key lime pie or chocolate cake it is no way diminished her sundae.

I respect the guy as a performer and a songwriter. He has a very dedicated fan base. And I know we can all identify with that. I’ve heard the same positive reviews about his live performances. I’d hold my tongue if I was ever up east. Lol. My boy has a similar dislike for John Mellencamp. And living in Indiana I have to tell him to dial it back. People love that guy round here. 😆😂

This is the one who wrote Atlantic City, Because the Night, Brilliant Disguise, Incident on 57th Street, Jungleland, Nebraska, Tenth Avenue Freezeout, Tunnel of Love, and some others that were on the radio a lot, right? Just want to make sure that this is the same guy here. Not that being on the radio a lot or writing songs others take to near perfection necessarily means someone is any good. That Dylan dude is an example of that.

I’ve never liked Bruce much but I have heard he puts on well hell of concert. Plays for over 3 hours most nights. If you are fan, you get your monies worth. I do like the Sax on some of his songs.
