Springsteen used to be one of my favorite artists but I lost interest after "Tunnel of Love." That was the time when Bruce decided that quantity trumps quality. I saw him do an acoustic set at the Berkeley Community Theater in the 90's and remember thinking that he has a powerful stage presence, and the talent to go with it. I understand why the call him "The Boss." Add to that his charity work and he really does belong in the R&R Hall of Fame. I just miss the quality of his early albums, where every song was a classic.
