I think Springsteen's overrated as ****.
True story about Springsteen..Back in like 81, I worked with this colored guy who was a huge blues lover..He knew I liked the blues as well, so he invited me to go to the Buddy Guy's Legends to see Muddy Waters. We get in the place and the rumor started that the E Street Band who were playing in Chicago that night were supposed to be coming there..Sure enough, later on the E Street Band arrived. Muddy started playing and I could tell he wasn't playing his usual good stuff...The E Street Band got on stage and Springsteen looked like a complete idiot prancing around like a tranny while Muddy was jamming..Then Clemons started playing, and he couldn't even stay in line with what the rest of the guys were playing..He sounded like he played for a total of 6 months. he was off beat, and he was trying to play licks that didn't go with the music...Muddy Waters just kind of ignored them. Eventually they left and then the real music started..Muddy played all his best songs and the music was incredible. I never liked Springsteen, but after that night I hated him, and still do. All the people in the place were snickering when he was on stage. I own 19 guitars.
