Affectation is not an exact science. There are those find nothing in the prose of Beckett but who weep at the thought of a lost boy and his ghostly companion in a castle, still more who find virtual characters juvenile yet shudder with fear while reading the misery memoir based on real events. But this is just trite, isn't it? Knew a man named Billy racin' his Chevy down the highway to nowhere... Springsteen's characters are comical, disfigured prescriptions of the American Dream as seen through the eyes of a 1950s WASP elite: exclusively white, male and heterosexual. And yet even as a card-carrying member of that privileged group, I find his observations on life alienating and insulting. This is the male gaze after downing ten pints of piss and overdosing on Viagra. Just looking at the cover makes me want to apologise on behalf of someone.

LOL it's just so brashfull and stupid! lol rock music is dumb!!!

>plebs will never understand that simplicity doesn't = bad

Dirty Deeds is a fantastic album that is an epitome of rock at it's core.

The weird thing about Springsteen's negative reviews (and to a certain extent Dylan's) is that they almost always feel a need to critique the "Americanness" of the albums.

That's because the Americanisms that make up his entire popular image don't translate very well to the rest of us, he's making music that your kind can relate to but the rest of us have no connection to

Most people can't really relate to what life in Jamaica is like, you don't see people blabbering on about how Bob Marley and Peter Tosh are "too Jamaican".
